The Symbol of the Cross

The Symbol of the Cross

In this sermon I develop the symbol of the cross. How could this "emblem of suffering and shame" become such a symbol of hope and power? I also talk about different types of crosses, the motion of crossing yourself or doing the sign of the cross, and the idea of carrying your own cross. I reference a Powerpoint slide that is posted here.
