In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. (Psalm 62:7)
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. (1 Corinthians 1:18)
Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas

Gospel of the cross

The passion of Jesus on the cross is the outpouring of the power and wisdom of God. The gospel of the cross cannot be understood by human reason, but by the revelation of the Spirit. Celebrating the passion of Jesus is celebrating life, as his death gave us the death of our corrupt nature and his resurrection made us born again. The gospel of the cross has not stopped announcing itself and is still looking for "madmen" who preach their madness, who understand the value of the cross. The challenge is to look to heaven so that our message loses its fragile humanity and Christ remains the irreplaceable word of the cross. Read more...
