Thought

Let our solemn thoughts align.

Reflections and resolve combine,

On one who taught and suffered

Corporeal pain for us offered.

Each one has their cross to bear.

Forbearance shown by Saviour.

Let us accept with cheerful gait,

Whatever is our self-formed fate.

Cross out self-image of the “I”

Egocentric views defy.

What greater love than to die

For another’s freedom to buy.

Reviewing lessons from the past

Corrections now made to last.

With anguish, trials, austerities

Play life’s game with skilful ease.

Next scene dawns a glorious day,

When rising sun rays blaze away

Prayer

O sweet sacrifice let me feel Thy presence now as I sit at thy holy feet marvelling at thy love marked in blood. May I learn to carry my small crosses with forbearance and fully follow thy every guided step.
