 A Reflection on the “Eagle of the Cross” Award
Both the eagle and the cross are symbols deeply rooted in Scripture and
Catholic tradition, and both speak to and about the young people being honored
in this ceremony.
The cross…By the sign of the cross traced in Baptism, a person is marked
forever as a follower of Jesus Christ. The cross is the trophy of victory of
Jesus who overcame death and promises life forever. The cross is the unique
sacrifice of Christ who calls his disciples to “Take up [their] cross and follow
[him],” and who has left us “an example that [we] should follow in his steps.”
(Catechism of the Catholic Church, #618)
The eagle…A symbol of integrity and faithfulness, individuality and majestic
beauty. The eagle is a symbol of God’s faithful love and care. Unique among
birds for its clarity of vision the eagle is the only bird that can look directly
into the sun. The Book of Revelation speaks of four living creatures around the
throne of God, symbolizing the writers of the four Gospels. The eagle in
Christian tradition represents the Gospel of John which begins directly with
the vision of God: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God…” (John 1:1)
The eagle and the cross have a unique association in the person of John. As the
youngest apostle, John was probably only a teenager and was the only apostle
who stood near the cross of Jesus with Mary, his Mother. Just as he was one
of the first disciples to be called by Jesus, John was the first person who ran
to the tomb on Easter Morning; when he reached the tomb, the Scriptures
record, “He saw and believed.” St. Paul wrote in his letter to Timothy, another
young follower of Jesus, “Let no one disregard you because you are young, but
be an example to all believers in the way you speak and behave, in your love,
your faith and your purity. You have in you a spiritual gift…do not neglect it…”
(1 Timothy 4: 12, 14) © 1999, SISTER MARY BRENDON ZAJAC, SND

WHAT IS THE EAGLE OF THE CROSS?
The Eagle of the Cross, created originally by the National
Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry (NFCYM), is the highest
recognition that our Diocese confers on a youth. It is given to
extraordinary teens who selflessly serve their peers and parishes
in unwavering commitment and dedication as communicated by the
nominating adult.
Since 1999, The Eagle of the Cross has been given annually in the Diocese of
Youngstown to select high school juniors and seniors who show particular zeal in the
improvement of their parish youth ministry program, high school ministry teams or
other ministries within the Diocese. The nominees must be practicing Catholics who
exemplify the qualities of moral integrity, prayer, good works and Christian
leadership. Awardees can receive only once. You can find the names of previous
recipients posted online at:
http://youngstownoyyam.weebly.com/eagle-of-cross-awards.html
Nominations for the Eagle of the Cross are to be completed by an adult (not the
nominee), be it a parish staff member, high school personnel, parishioner, or friend.
Each nominator must answer essay questions addressing the nominee’s participation
in parish and high school youth ministry programs, providing examples of the
qualities mentioned above. The award is not geared toward quantitative service
hours but to the integrity of the individual and how well s/he is perceived by the
nominator as an outstanding Catholic Christian.
