[email protected] T (02) 9644 7787 Before the death of Jesus on the cross, the cross was a sign of shame, sin, Priests in Residence punishment and death. The most humiliating death was a death on the cross, and Mgr Michael Berbari it was meted out to the most scandalous and most criminal. Jesus was accused of Cor Bishop being a blasphemer and was condemned to the unjust punishment of death on the T (02)9738 1491 cross. This instrument of torture, designed to degrade the worst of criminals, M 0418 459 431 became the life-giving tree, the Instrument of salvation. By his Resurrection, it Fr Mark Spora has transformed into a symbol of victory and life and we are here to adore and Pastor Emeritus SJW worship the cross today. T (02) 9649 9089 For us what does the cross signify? Parish Secretary Marisa Squadrito 1 - The Cross is a symbol of Love Tues to Fri 9am -3pm 2 - The Cross of Jesus is a symbol of triumph of good over evil.
