The People of the Cross
It took ISIS,
reminding us-
that we are
the People of the Cross.
We begin our Lent
with ashes
Ashes our fore-head
in the form of a Cross,
reminding us:
We are dust
and reminding us
we walk a narrow path
following in the footsteps
of our dear and gracious leader, Jesus.
Where does His path lead us?
The path to the Cross-
reminding us –
His words from the Cross:
Father, forgive them.-
reminding us
only in His love
can LOVE.
By His death and resurrection
He has set us free –
He has saved the world.
This Lent
we come to change our hearts
to help change the world.
We are the People of the Cross
and by His Cross ,by His Grace
we can do it.
FV
