The Story of Trinity's Way of the Cross

Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman, here is your son,” and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.
(John 19:25-27)

I push my feet against the nails to breathe
I speak through blood
To those who hear

I speak to the thieves:
     the one sneers
     the other saved
     it need not have been that way

I must speak to my mother:
     you are my mother
     there is your son
     there is your mother

The family exchanged
It is finished

Lord,

Yet speak to us,
Moving us toward love
     of all that is:
Each other, creation,
Life
And the life to come.

Amen
