“My work with Cross Catholic Outreach has led me to reflect upon, how the Cross reveals to us the true nature of love, power, richness & sacrifice. It calls us to faith & action, to minister in the name of the poor man Jesus Christ; to embrace those who are living images of the Word who became flesh- the poorest of the poor.”
