My walk with the Lord...Via Crucis

Posted by our resident, anonymous poet.  God Bless you, our dear friend!

Dear Women of St. Raphael, my Sisters in Christ,

I have written reflections on The Stations of the Cross to share my vision, emotion and gratitude for some of the awesome gifts that Jesus Christ gave to us as He walked The Way.  The reflections will be posted on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays during Lent.

I keep you in my heart as we begin the Lenten season and walk with The Lord as He leads us closer to Him through prayer, reflection, action and fasting - whatever way your special relationship with Him is designed - as we prepare to share in His Passion and rejoice in His Glorious Resurrection on Easter.

Glory be to God!

First Station - Jesus Is Condemned to Death

My Lord, Jesus Christ, is condemned to die,

How can I not be angry and want to cry?

I don’t deserve the sacrifice of this perfect Lamb.

I'm a sinner, an imperfect servant, to the great I AM.

Yet in His goodness, gratitude also fills my soul,

He loves me so much to make me eternally whole.

So I step out with Him in His saving Passion,

With endless love for His mercy and compassion.

Obeying to governing is part of my Father’s plan,

Because even in unfairness, He rules over the land.
