On this Good Friday, Fr. Scott Steinkerchner OP delivers a moving "Word of Hope" reflection exploring the dual nature of the Cross. Originally a brutal tool of Roman power meant to crush the human spirit, the Cross was radically transformed by Christ's sacrifice. By embracing suffering with love and forgiveness, Jesus turned this "cross of death" into the life-giving "cross of life"—a symbol of redemption, humanity's triumph, and God's boundless mercy. Fr. Scott poignantly relates this to contemporary injustices, urging prayer and action. Contemplate the profound mystery we venerate today and find hope in the promise that even in the darkest moments, God's life ultimately overcomes death.
