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.
