Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross

Today is the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross. One of my kids took this picture of the rosaries we were gathering to send to one of the Children's Rosary groups. In looking at all these crosses something occurred to me, albeit very obvious, the Rosary is anchored to the cross. The Rosary leads you straight to the cross. The Rosary is Christ centered. Although it is often associated with Mary there can be no doubt the goal: to bring you closer to Our Lord. 
The Gospel today reminds us, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him might not perish but might have eternal life." (John 3:16)
