Triumph of the Cross.
The cross could have become a symbol of shame for Christians: it brought about the death of Jesus Christ. However, faith in the resurrection made the cross a symbol of pride. The worst weapon of Jesus' enemies could not overpower him. Through the cross, Jesus triumphs over death... Paul Turner

Corpus/Crucifix V.S.
Cross/Risen Christ
How does one answer the question of why Catholics focus so much on the Corpus hanging over our altars as opposed to the Risen Christ Cross? I try to focus my answer on the supreme sacrifice Jesus made for our salvation. Without the Crucifixion there would be no Resurrection....
Altar Crucifix.
The crucifix is the principal ornament of the altar. It is placed on the altar to recall to the mind of the celebrant, and the people, that the Victim offered on the altar is the same as was offered on the Cross. For this reason the crucifix must be placed on the altar as often as Mass is celebrated...

The Triumph of the Cross by Rev. Nicholas
Cirillo. 
The Feast of the Triumph of the Holy Cross commemorates the victory that Our
Lord accomplished through his death and resurrection. The cross is a mark of
great suffering and humiliation, but it is a horrific symbol which we adore
because through it we have come to know the great love that Jesus has for us,
and through the wounds that it inflicted, we have been healed.
Apart from the cross, there is no other ladder by which
we may get to heaven.
Christians must lean on the Cross of Christ
just as travelers lean on a
staff when they begin a long journey.
They must have the Passion of Christ
deeply imbedded in their minds and hearts,
because only from it can they
derive peace, grace, and truth.
The way of the cross is the one leading to God.
