Fr. Andre M. Feain gives the homily from Our Lady's Chapel, New Bedford, MA, for the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross (Sep 14, 2025), presenting the cross as a symbol of dying to oneself, forgiving enemies, and participating in redemptive suffering, ultimately leading to true communion with the risen Christ.

Citing the example of Saint Maximilian Kolbe and of Our Lady of Sorrows, Father invites the faithful to unite their pains with Christ’s for salvation
