My Cross - My Life

The cross in this collection is not a symbol of suffering and death, but one of joy, energy, life and community. The 60 crosses from across the globe - the private collection of the author - offer the possibility to discover the depth and diversity of the cross, in a spirit of ecumenical curiosity. They are organised around five themes: Tree of life; Community; Suffering; Devotion and Protection. The selection is limited to personal crosses found in households, worn as necklaces or bought in church shops. This booklet is an invitation to deepen personal spirituality, to choose from among the crosses and to meditate on them as a means to express personal hope and to find life energy as a source of ethical reflection and action.
