Heavenly Father, Creator of All,

who persecute us.
Give us the strength and
courage to forgive.
Remove all lingering desire for revenge.
Holy Spirit, reveal to us
the mercy of God.
Give us the gift of Your peace
that surpasses all understanding.
Amen.

Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross
2027-09-14 | Saint Ambrose Parish, 929 Pearl Rd, Brunswick, OH, 44212
The Feast was formerly known as the Triumph of the Cross, but it has been renamed the Exaltation of the Holy Cross.
Join us at one of our Sunday Masses to celebrate this Feast! Click/tap here for the schedule. We also live stream our Sunday Masses. Watch Mass live here.
“Exaltation” means “to lift up,” and for centuries Christians have elevated crosses so they can be clearly seen and venerated by genuflection, kneeling, a profound bow, singing, dancing, and other expressions of respect and reverence.
The Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, also known as the Feast of the Triumph of the Cross, commemorates three historical events: the discovery of the True Cross, its initial exaltation for public veneration, and the recovery of the Cross from the Persians. Nowadays, this feast also celebrates the boundless impact of Christ’s Cross upon all of creation.

Feast Day of Our Lady of Sorrows
2027-09-15 | Saint Ambrose Church, 929 Pearl Rd, Brunswick, OH, 44212, United States
Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows on September 15. Saint Ambrose and the Legion of Mary will pray the Rosary of the Seven Sorrows of Mary on Monday, September 15 at 7:00 pm in the Church.

All are welcome to pray and reflect.
This feast day honors Mary’s deep union with Jesus, sharing in His suffering during His Passion and Death. It is when we commemorate the Seven Sorrows that the Virgin Mary experienced throughout her life.
Mary stood fearlessly at the cross while others fled. Mary looked on at her Son’s wounds with pity but saw in them the salvation of the world. As Jesus hung on the cross, Mary did not fear to be killed, but offered herself to her persecutors.
When we pray the Rosary of the Seven Sorrows of Mary, we enter the mind and heart of Mary and reflect on the seven major sorrows in her life. Our Sorrowful Mother can teach us much about the sanctity of suffering and be a source of consolation to all who suffer. Mary walks with us on our
journey to God and understands our struggles and pains.

These are the seven main sorrows Mary experienced, according to our faith:

Simeon’s prophecy: A sword will pierce her soul (Luke 2:35).
The flight into Egypt: Fleeing King Herod to protect the infant Jesus.
Loss of the child Jesus for three days: When Mary and Joseph searched for Jesus in the Temple.
Mary meets Jesus on His way to Calvary: Seeing her Son carrying His cross.
The crucifixion and death of Jesus: Her presence at His death.
The body of Jesus being taken from the Cross: The anguish of seeing her Son’s lifeless body.
The burial of Jesus: The pain of His burial.
