Lift High The Cross -Guitar Reflection
We Should Glory in the Cross from Jill Maria Murdy on Vimeo.
This is a reflection on the Triumph of the Cross, that is “The Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross.” based upon these scripture readings usccb.org/bible/readings/091415.cfm
As I prayed and reflected, I was mindful not of the crosses to bear in life, but some of the images and places and crosses that have guided my life.
I put them together as a video, and as I watched it I played “Lift High the Cross” on classical guitar underneath.
