Adoring the Cross from Above and Below

At Manhattan’s Church of the Holy Innocents, Father Nicholas Callaghan, parochial vicar at the parish of St. Margaret of Cortona in Riverdale, Bronx, NY, offered the following meditation for our Lenten recollection last Monday, March 11th.

Father’s reflection refers to Constantino Brumidi’s newly restored mural of the Crucifixion in the sanctuary of Holy Innocents, pictured below. Father also refers to several other images and texts, which can be found in the attached program for reference.
