Rather than placing the Jubilee Cross on the Cathedral Sanctuary we decided that it should be accessible to all. Therefore, our Cross stands beside the Baptismal Font where each visitor can venerate it, including by embrace or kiss. After Morning Mass we process together as Pilgrims of Hope to the Cross for veneration. Jesus revealed the depth of his love for us on the Cross, from which our hope springs. I will be celebrating a Jubilee Mass of Hope in each Deanery to which I will bring the Jubilee Cross, after which each parish will host the Cross for a short period. This will allow the entire diocese to be united in our shared pilgrimage, finding hope in God’s love which shines upon us from the Cross.
