Holy Week: The Crossbeam

Br. Michael, ofm

 

 

The crossbeam of my life

anxiety

sickness

instability

and I fall.

The crossbeam of my life

physical ailment

mental breakdown

spiritual emptiness

                              and I fall.

The crossbeam of my life

fear

loneliness

expectation

                              and I fall.

Each time I fall,

I am strengthened by the

love and Passion of Christ

                             and I rise.

He who knows

the crossbeam of my life

leads me to freedom

in his resurrected life.
