Redemptoristine Nuns of NY, Inc.

On September 14, we celebrate the Holy Cross in a special way.  It is the anniversary of our foundress' death in 1755.

Blessed Maria Celeste triumphed over all the crosses in her life and now she is filled with heavenly joy and peace.  Listen to what Jesus once said to Celeste from the ‘Throne of the Cross,’  “…your humanity will be always be united on the cross with Me and will always be in the joy and peace of My Divine Spirit.”  

How is that possible? In our own times, between pandemic and politics, natural disasters and violence, we surely feel the weight of the cross.  We long for joy and peace.    

It is like the AA saying that you have to hit rock bottom before you
realize your Higher Power is in control and you can’t do anything by
yourself.  Only when you turn it over to God, a glorious new life begins.  

Julian of Norwich, the 14th century mystic affirmed this in her writings. 
She wrote that God manifests God’s self when we are at our lowest and
all options are exhausted.  She remarked, “It has ever been so before the
coming of miracles.”

Let us turn our lives completely over to God and look for miracles to happen.    This month let us glory in the cross of our Redeemer who Loves
us beyond our imagining.  Let us exult Christ for the plentiful redemption wrought by his passion on the cross and his glorious resurrection.   Loved
and redeemed, filled with peace and joy, let us triumph in the Holy Cross.                                                                                                                               

"Life for me is Christ." Phil1:21
