The feast outranked the 4th Sunday after Easter in the pre-1955 Calendar; however the Sunday would have been commemorated and the Proper Last Gospel read. The finding of the True Cross by St. Helena was an extremely important discovery for the Church. This most precious relic was found and brought back to Rome. In the search for it, three crosses were dug up on Mount Calvary. Numerous miracles occurred when only one was touched. That is how they knew it was Our Lord's cross upon which He wrought our Salvation.
We adore Thee, O Christ, and we bless Thee,
because by Thy holy Cross Thou hast redeemed the world!
