It is a simple and joyful message

Having been raised a Catholic and grown up attending parochial schools, the crucifix has long been a fixture in my home. The first time I saw the Love Cross design I felt a flash of insight, relief and excitement. 

No longer would I need to experience that familiar tugging of guilt and remorse, but, instead, the exuberance of Christ's simple and joyful message: to love one another as He has loved us. The transformation of the cross into the very word that describes His substance, purpose, and wish for us - love - leads me to feel that I am being guided away from guilt and repentance and into the loving embrace of a forgiving and living God. I feel a tremendously positive shift already!
