September 14/ കുരിശിൻ്റെ പുകഴ്ച/ Exhalation of the Cross/ Baby Toks/ Syro Malabar Sermons

The Cross carries a profound mystery within the Christian faith, marking a radical transformation from a symbol of terror into the ultimate source of divine hope. Once an instrument of brutal execution and intense fear, it was permanently redefined through the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Today, instead of representing death and defeat, the Cross stands as the supreme monument of God's love that removes all human fear and absorbs all earthly pain. It shines brightly as a beacon of light, reminding believers that suffering is never the final word, but rather a bridge to redemption.Furthermore, the glorification of the Cross serves as a powerful anticipation of the awaiting glory that belongs to all Christians in heaven. When we, believers look upon the Cross, we do not just see a past historical event, but an eternal promise of our own future triumph. It stands as a heavenly victory guarantee, proving that the trials of this world will eventually give way to everlasting joy and peace. By honoring the Cross, we, the Christians actively celebrate the ultimate reality that our present struggles are intimately connected to the radiant, unceasing glory that awaits us in eternity.
