Last night at the Evening Mass of the Lord's Supper, many went to the basins barefoot. Many never put their shoes back on. They walked back to receive our Lord in the Eucharist barefooted. As Christ in His infinite love washed our feet, how could we not walk barefoot? This ground is holy; saturated in His Love poured out for us par excellence in the Most Holy Eucharist. Today, we will once again be barefooted as we approach the Cross. It is such an ancient custom. This ground is holy; saturated in His Blood poured out for us. Barefooted we trod deeply into these mysteries. How could we not? I encourage you tonight, take off your shoes as you venerate the Cross. Go in deep humility to the source of Our Redemption. Approach the Cross, not filled with fear,but with deep love. For it is there that deep Love has been shown to the world.
We adore your Cross, O Lord, we praise and glory in your Resurrection, for behold, because of a tree joy has come to the whole world. - Antiphon for the Veneration of the Cross
