The Lord Reigns From the Wood | The Mystery of the Holy Cross Explained

About this sermon

In this powerful Catholic sermon, we explore the profound mystery of the Holy Cross and the kingship of Jesus Christ, especially as celebrated in the ancient Feast of the Finding of the Holy Cross. Why does the Church proclaim: “The Lord hath reigned from the wood”? What is the deeper meaning behind Christ’s reign from the Cross? Drawing from Sacred Scripture, the Church Fathers, and the ancient liturgy, this sermon reveals: ✝️ The connection between the Cross and Christ’s kingship ✝️ The prophecy of Moses and the serpent in the Old Testament ✝️ The role of St. Helena in discovering the True Cross ✝️ Why the Church celebrates the Cross even during Eastertide ✝️ The meaning behind ancient feasts in the first week of May This reflection will deepen your understanding of the Passion, Redemption, and Victory of Christ, showing how the Cross is not defeat—but triumph. “It behooves us to glory in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.” 0:00 Introduction & Alleluia: “The Lord Hath Reigned From the Wood” 0:27 The Ancient Feasts of Early May 0:46 St. Philip & St. James – Apostolic Martyrdom 1:29 Other May Feasts: St. Athanasius, St. Stanislaus 1:46 St. John Before the Latin Gate Explained 2:20 The Would-Be Martyrdom of St. John 3:01 The Finding of the Holy Cross (St. Helena) 3:25 “We Glory in the Cross” – Holy Week Connection 3:44 Christ & the Serpent: Old Testament Fulfillment 4:26 Meaning of “The Lord Reigned From the Wood” 4:42 Psalm 95 & Scriptural Debate 5:20 Early Church Fathers on the Phrase 6:06 Christ’s Kingship Through the Cross 6:26 The Cross Remembered in Eastertide 7:01 “O Cross, Our Only Hope” – Liturgical Meaning 7:27 Why the Church Keeps the Cross Before Us 7:51 Victory Through the Blood of Christ 7:58 Conclusion & Final Blessing Follow the Institute of Christ the King on...
