At the cross I bow my kneeContinuing with reflecting on the Parish Mission I'm going to, last night the symbol was the cross. At the end of the presentation, everyone was invited forward to venerate the cross in some way: bowing before it, touching it, kissing it, etc. I'd never seen this done outside of Holy Week services, and even then, it always seemed a bit foreign to me, probably because I haven't done it often enough.
As with the Bible the night before, it was nice to recognize and lift up this important symbol of my faith, to recognize the significance the cross has played, and to acknowledge the crosses that I have in my own life.
This song reminds me that I can bring my much smaller crosses to the foot of Jesus' cross, and know that He will carry it for me, and that nothing will separate us.
(Slowly but surely, it feels like my spirituality is returning to me. It is no coincidence that I'm spending more time with Him.)
