On the Feast of the Cross, Fr David reminds us that true wisdom and strength are found not in leading, but in being led by Christ. In a world that celebrates power, control, and independence, this sermon challenges us to embrace the countercultural call of the Cross — to surrender, to trust, and to follow the voice of our Shepherd.

Just as Christ was obedient to the Father even to the point of death, we too are invited to let God lead every part of our lives — our work, families, and hearts — so that we may truly know His voice and walk in His peace.
