To the Cross we go,
A Nation hanging,
Lifted on the wood,
Drying up, exposed,
Blood drained
In a hemorrhage
Of its young.
Did you watch?
We’re you one
To wring your hands?
Were your hearts wrenched,
Or did you party
With the crowd
As the veil
Of the Temple
Was torn in two?
Suffer the Moment
Hoping with Love,
That the curtain,
Was split
From top to bottom,
That even now,
In the darkest hour
Of choice’s choosing,
When Herod has opened
Yet another womb,
Salvation is found in Crucifixion.
God will shine through
The gaping Wound in His Side,
As God is want to do.

Lovely. No matter how bad things are, God is with us and will always be victorious. It’s too bad Satan will take so many away from Him before it’s all over. Let us not be numbered among them.

Amen, Barbara!
Scott Hahn reminds us that we are blessed to be alive at this time in Salvation history, at the height of the spiritual battle, that we will have scars to be sure, but as we grow in our understanding and fill our heads with the truths, to remember that we are here primarily to be empowered in our wills and in our hearts to go forth to fight the good fight and to do it in a way that is humble and also filled with gratitude.
