The
Story of Trinity's Way of the Cross |
Jesus is crucified
Two other men, both criminals,
were also led out with him to be executed. When they came to the
place called the Skull, they crucified him there, along with the
criminals–one on his right, the other on his left.
(Luke 23:32-33)
I am pierced
on the cross
Then we are lifted:
sin and life and death
I open my eyes
It is a
filthy, deserted place
Barren, plain
Smoke and ashes
Life-stealing
And those
Must step over the worst of things
To be near me
For duty
Or love
Lord of love and
grace,
You gave us your
life,
Against the chosen cruelty of humanity.
We held life valueless
and so too eagerly cast off yours.
And still
You offer us birth, life, and life without end
with you.
May we thank you all the time
For bearing death
And giving life.
Amen |
