We carry Christ's cross because it reminds us of His Second Coming

We carry Christ's cross because it reminds us of His Second Coming
The Holy Bible says about the end of the world and the coming of the Lord: “Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory” (Matt.24: 30). Therefore let us venerate the cross, the sign of the Son of Man, now on earth as long as we expect to see it in heaven when He comes on the clouds of heaven at His great Coming.
