Quote for Reflection (Sunday, March 26, 2023)

“The cross is God’s word to those who have ears and are willing to hear. So we have to pray to God, that he would give us ears to hear, eyes to see, minds willing to penetrate that mystery, to open up to that mystery in order to see what it is that God is showing us, what God is telling us, what he’s doing…The Word of the Cross is ultimately silent…. In the silent depth of the Cross, the silence of God, which is more eloquent than any word, speaks to our silence, the silence within us, in order that we can then understand and grasp and live the deepest mysteries of God.”

Fr. Thomas Hopko
