[ View Transcript ]
In this meditation for the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross (September 14), Fr. Marty Miller draws upon the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Josemaria Escriva to share how struggles, contradictions, and even ordinary duties can become moments of joy when lived with love for Christ.
Listen now to reflect on:
- How the Cross transforms suffering into holiness
- The importance of starting each day with heroic moments
- St. Josemaria’s encouragement to trust God’s plans, even in small beginnings
- How the Cross draws us beyond our own goals to God’s glory
