THE FRENCH CROSS

It means  many different things to believers. First and foremost— it's a reminder of the sacrifice made by Jesus Christ for our Salvation.  It is a reminder of His Father and mother Mary’s sacrifice of their only Son.

Blessing. Hardship. Solidarity. Courage. Strength.

Personally, it reminds me to Keep Calm and Carry On.   

It is the way in which we bear our own personal cross that defines our true character. My father Roger Hesslau used to say, “It’s not what happens to you in life, it's how you handle it.” I call this grace, which enables us to handle the unthinkable. Grace helps us take up our cross. 

It is important to stop and reflect on the significance of embracing the cross to the point of literally wearing it around your neck. In your ears. On your hand. On your wrist.


Such witness!
