O God, I feel Your presence in the earth
coming to life as Spring begins to take away
Winter’s cold.
Warm our hearts that we may appreciate
the fullness and depth of Your Love.
As Holy Week approaches, we recall Your Son’s
suffering and death for all people – black, brown,
yellow, white, all the shades in between, female,
male, young, old, speaking all tongues, silent
and with whatever uniqueness each brings.
In self-giving, He shares His being, His love.
We cherish His memory.
May healing come as we try to follow,
sometimes with faltering steps, His way.
Amen.
– By a Columban Missionary
