Cardinal tells faithful: wear your cross with pride

Cardinal Keith O’Brien will call for Christians to identify with the cross and make it more prominent in their lives when he preaches his Easter Sunday Homily in St Mary’s Cathedral today.

The Cardinal, the leader of Scotland’s Catholics, will say that the cross should be an important part of people’s lives and that every Christian should “wear proudly a symbol of the cross of Christ on their garments each and every day of their lives”.

Speaking earlier, Cardinal O’Brien said: “Easter provides the ideal time to remind ourselves of the centrality of the cross in our Christian faith.”
