New Life in Abundance

The Spirit descended as a dove upon Jesus as he emerged from the waters of the Jordan (Matthew 3:16). Just as the dove of Genesis 8:11 signals new life in God’s creation, so too does the Spirit’s descent “as a dove” onto Jesus signal new life in abundance in Jesus who now embraces his mission to transform the world. This solid bronze cross, conceived and forged by the hand of a master goldsmith in Germany, is an authentic expression of this wonderful truth.

As a confirmation gift, this cross features the Holy Spirit, bearer of new life (Genesis 8:1-11), reminding us of the marvelous reality of deeper initiation into the mystery of Christ and into His mission now being carried forward by His Church.

The reverse side reads in German:
Ich bin bei euch bis an das Ende der Welt. Selig, die Armen im Geiste, denn ihrer ist das Himmelreich. Selig, die Trauernden, denn sie werden getroestet werden. Selig, die Sanftmuetigen, denn sie werden das Land besitzen. Selig, die Hunger und Durst haben nach der Gerechtigkeit, denn sie werden gesaettigt werden. Selig, die Barmherzigen, denn sie werden Barmherzigkeit erlangen. Selig, die reinen Herzens sind, denn sie werden Gott anschauen. Selig, die Frieden stiften, denn sie werden Kinder Gottes genannt werden. Selig, die Verfolgung leiden um der Gerechtigkeit willen. Ihrer ist das Himmelreich.

Translation:
I am with you unto the end of the world. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of God. Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after justice, for they will have their fill. Blessed are the merciful, for they will find mercy. Blessed are the pure of heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are they who suffer persecution for the sake of justice, theirs is the Kingdom of God.
