The Way Forward: Preaching the Crucified Christ
"When
we do not profess Jesus Christ, we profess the worldliness of the
devil, a demonic worldliness... When we journey without the Cross, when
we build without the Cross, when we profess Christ without the Cross, we
are not disciples of the Lord, we are worldly: we may be bishops,
priests, cardinals, popes, but not disciples of the Lord. My wish is
that all of us, after these days of grace, will have the courage, yes,
the courage, to walk in the presence of the Lord, with the Lord’s Cross;
to build the Church on the Lord’s blood which was poured out on the
Cross; and to profess the one glory: Christ crucified. And in this way,
the Church will go forward."
~ Pope Francis
"When I came
to you, brethren, I did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God
in lofty words or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you
except Jesus Christ and him crucified."
~ 1 Corinthians 2:1, 2
