HOMILY: Why Does the Crucifixion Heal Us?

Informações:

Synopsis

Often we here hallmarks in our faith but rarely do we explain the inner-logic of them. For instance, we know that a Bronze Serpent was raised in the wilderness, and this healed the Israelites. But why did God choose this image to be a vehicle of healing? Why does the prophet teach us that by Christ's wounds we are healed? What type of healing are we discussing?
