My dear friends in Christ, it is not often, as you all well know, but I have come across a website which is that of a religious order whose website - which is quite informative - can be accessed through clicking on this link
Whilst browsing the site, my eye was drawn to the following item which I personally believe is a most beautiful piece.
It is a cross made of nails, and I think it explains itself with the following words:
THE CROSS OF NAILS
Each Cross will be individually blessed by the Orders’ Healing Priest bearing in mind your own personal ailment and praying for your speedy recovery.
Jesus says to us, in the Gospel: “No greater love hath any man that to lay down his life for his friends.”
He, Himself, taught us precisely how to live as Christians – Love must always be our guide.
I suggest that you visit their site and if you are going to purchase a Cross quote this reference CW/CN and please do let me know what you think of this most beautiful and simple yet basic reminder of that gift that Christ gave us on the Cross - life over death.
