The Cross stands at the center of the fast as it stands at the center of all our activities, indeed, at the center of our entire life. The world is cruciform, and, as we see in holy icons depicting the days of creation, the Lord formed his creation with the hands that were pierced by Roman nails. Following his lead, in all our activities, let us begin, continue, and end with the sign of the Cross, uniting all our efforts and all our suffering with the Lord’s greatest work, his Passion.
