I ‘ve been taken to the Cross,
by the worst that life can offer,
and that has got me thinking…
really thinking
about
The Cross.
I understood the Cross
more deeply
by watching
my own child suffer wounds
so similar to You, My Saviour Son…
that we could only look at one another
(and not dare tell a soul what we saw
for fear they’d call us crazy.)
I watched her on a cross
(though padded and wheeled
it was a cross nonetheless.)
We bore her to her cross
and stood beside her
and I lay beside her...
(sometimes)
until she was taken away.
And that is when I thought of Your mother.
Now I stand beneath Your Cross Lord.
I stand with Mary.
I weep with Mary.
I feel Your tears for her
Your protection for her
and Your love for her
I share that with Your mother, Lord.
I think of Mary so often.
There is the Creed too, Lord,
You have heard of it, I’m sure.
In Nicea the men gathered
and filled out the form
on all we are to believe.
They did a good job Lord and there is this one
part,
that really gets to me...
more than all the rest,
it is the part about
“The Communion of Saints”.
It says we share this Communion
with You
because of the Cross,
and because of the Cross,
I am in Communion with You
and because of the Cross
I share Your communion
with her,
because she is a saint,
a Real,
Living,
Eternal
Saint.
The Creed You let be written says so.
I really
Love
that part Lord.
And all this
that I am beginning to see
is because
of the
Cross.
