Exaltation of the Holy Cross (Homily – September 14, 2025)

Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross – September 14, 2025

In a week shaken by violence and division, the Cross confronts us with the only cure for the venom that poisons our world. Just as Israel looked upon the bronze serpent to be healed, so too we look upon Christ crucified. What Rome used to conquer the world, Christ used to conquer Rome. What the world saw as failure, the Church proclaims as victory.

“Don’t raise your fist unless it’s to make the Sign of the Cross. Show the world what real power looks like.”

Preached by Rev. Korey LaVergne at Saint Edward Catholic Church in Richard, Louisiana.
