"We are in the age of the media
and the media are more interested in novelty than in truth. Let us concentrate on the mystery
that we are celebrating...
'To fix one's gaze on the pierced side of Christ..."
Father Cantalamessa
Translation of French words:
[At the top:]
"The fragrance of myrrh from the spouses of Jesus Christ."
[Above the cross:]
"He is the Angel of Great Counsel. He is the Book of the Elect."
[Below the cross:]
"I love Thee, o Lord, my Strength."
[At the bottom:]
"(From Isaiah 53:5) He has taken upon Himself our chastisements, and with His wounds He has healed us.(From Exodus 25:40) See that you make them after the pattern for them, which is being shown you on the mountain."
