Lenten Crosses VI

Around our Abbey we have simple, meaningful crosses, which the sisters see throughout the day. They remind us of Jesus and his love, and call us to love in return.

We’d like to share one with you each week of Lent.

This is a closeup of the crucifix that hangs in our church. Here Jesus is the complete image of loving given-ness. Peaceful face, hollow ribs.

“Sweet the nails and sweet the wood, laden with so sweet a load”
