Book Synopsis The Mystery of the Cross by : Judith Couchman
Download or read book The Mystery of the Cross written by Judith Couchman and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2010-03-05 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Christianity is a religion founded on the mystery of the cross of Christ." --Leo the Great At the center of Christianity sits the cross of Christ. From the beginning, Christ's followers celebrated the cross as a symbol of their faith. It was honored in church worship, carved into rough tombstones, pressed onto loaves of bread and set out as a sign of sanctuary. The cross represented what Christians believed, who they hoped for and how they approached life. In this thoughtful book Judith Couchman takes up forty images of the cross from early Christianity. As we discover the meaning and significance of each of these uses, we learn a little more about the early church. More than that, she helps us focus on the meaning of the cross and the Savior's sacrifice. Ideal for Lenten devotional reading and appropriate for any season of the church calendar, this book includes original illustrations of each cross image. The Mystery of the Cross will enrich your understanding of Christian tradition and draw you into Christ's presence.

This book was released on 2015-07-31 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One word on the publication of this little work, and the unexpected success it has obtained. How did the idea of this book occur to us? Who arranged the unforeseen circumstances to which it owes its origin? Why does a work, destined to reawaken the faith of the Catholic world in the Sign of the Cross, appear at this time, and not two or three centuries ago? Why is it, that until now, no pope thought of attaching a spiritual favor to that formula, the most venerable, most ancient, and most customary of our religion? How is it, that amidst so many solicitudes, Pius IX has deigned to listen to our feeble voice, and hastened to admonish the Christians of our day to have recourse as frequently as possible to the Sign of the Cross, conformably to the example of their primitive ancestors?

Excerpt: ... he not affirm, in this same Epistle to his dear son Timothy (i. 7), that God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power? This is why he declares (v. 8) that he (Timothy) ought not to Mush for his bonds, and be ashamed of his person, amidst the humiliations to which he was subjected. CHAPTER V. WE OUGHT TO LOVE CROSSES. Love follows on esteem; we love things in proportion; to the value we set upon them. I have just spoken of the worth of crosses, and this little work abounds in motives most capable of making us perceive their value and urging us to love them. But let me say, in one word, what may carry absolute conviction to the mind, as to the obligation that lies upon us of having a love for crosses. Jesus, God-Man, loved them: therefore they are lovable. He loved them with an ardour inconceivable: therefore they ought to be the objects of our greatest affection. Let men say what they will, though they should all unite together in persuading us to the contrary, we must adhere to the sentiments of a God. All men may be deceived; a God can neither be deceived nor deceive others. They who follow Him walk in the light and in the truth;, every other path leads astray and is full of darkness. The Adorable Jesus, our God, loved sufferings. They were His treasure, His joy, His glory, His sweetness, the delight of His heart, His love. Heespouses the Cross at His first entrance into the world: this is why He is the Man of Sorrows; He never quits it, He lives on it, He dies on it. You would say that He has not words choice enough to express His affection for it. He is not content with saying that He desires it, but He declares (Luke xxii. 15) that He desires it with desire; that is to say, with a desire which angels and men ought to...

This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE Cross on which our Lord and Saviour suffered, would, naturally, if properly authenticated, be an object of the deepest veneration to all Christian men, be their creed, or shade of opinion what it might; but, for over 300 years it could not be found, and it was reserved for the Empress Helena in her old age (for she was 79 years old) to discover its place of concealment.1 That this Invention, or finding of the Cross was believed in, at the time, there can be no manner of doubt, for it is alluded to by St. Cyril, Patriarch of Jerusalem (A.D. 350 to 386), and by St. Ambrose. Rufinus of Aquila, a friend of St. Jerome, in hisEcclesiastical History, gives an account of its finding, in the following words: ÒAbout the same time, Helena, the mother of Constantine, a woman of incomparable faith, whose sincere piety was equalled by her rare munificence, warned by celestial visions, went to Jerusalem, and inquired of the inhabitants where was the place where the Divine Body had been affixed and hung on a gibbet. This place was difficult to find, for the persecutors of old had raised a statue to Venus,2 in order that the Christians who might wish to adore Christ in that place, should appear to address their homage to the goddess; and thus it was little frequented, and almost forgotten. After clearing away the profane objects which defiled it, and the rubbish that was there heaped up, she found three crosses placed in confusion. But the joy which this discovery caused her was tempered by the impossibility of distinguishing to whom each of them had belonged. There, also, was found the title written by Pilate in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew characters; but still there was nothing to indicate sufficiently clearly the Cross of our Lord. This uncertainty of man was settled by the testimony of heaven.Ó And then follows the story of the dead woman being raised to life.

Above forty years ago, passing by the open door of the Catholic church then standing in Ann Street, New York, and seeing its interior draped in black on the morning of Good Friday, I took a proffered seat near the chancel, to behold the scenes never before nor since witnessed. The movements, the prayers in Latin, the smoking incense, the melodies, the candles, the bowings, and the chancel performances, were closely observed without being well understood. But the sermon which followed was in plain Saxon, glorifying the wood of the cross, which the preacher said " ought to be worshipped." I was surprised, for the Latins deny their worship of idols, and I, charitably believing it, was astonished at the preacher's language in presence of the thronged house. It seemed to me unguarded, and rashly to place a weapon in their enemy's hands. The preacher proceeded, however, in full earnest, to show and to urge the reasonableness, and to enforce the duty, of worshipping the mood of the cross! First, Because it was miraculously preserved, and found with the crosses of the two thieves, after having lain buried in the earth for three hundred years nearly. Secondly, Because when found, it was distinguished from the crosses of the two thieves by the miracles it wrought, while the crosses of the thieves wrought none. (The father of this quite overreached himself by finding the crosses of the two thieves.) Thirdly, Because the wood of the true cross multiplied itself for distribution over the whole world without diminution or loss of the original wood. A This emphatic and logical preaching was next practically illustrated before all eyes. For the preacher, officiating clergy, and clerks within the chancel, first approached singly in...
