THE CRUCIFIXION

FORGIVE US, DEAR JESUS, WHEN YOUR BODY WE SCOURGE

WITH EVERY SIN THAT FROM US DOES EMERGE.

FORGIVE US, DEAR JESUS, FOR EVERY LAST DROP

OF YOUR BLOOD THAT YOU SHED WHEN OUR SINS DO NOT STOP.

FORGIVE US FOR DRIVING THE NAILS THRU YOUR HANDS

WHEN WE CHOOSE TO IGNORE YOUR FATHER’S COMMANDS.

FORGIVE US, DEAR JESUS, FOR EACH PIERCING THORN

THAT WE PLACED ON YOUR HEAD IN THE CROWN YOU HAD WORN.

FORGIVE US, DEAR JESUS, FOR PIERCING YOUR SIDE

BY USING OUR LANCE MADE OF EGO AND PRIDE.

BY OUR SINS AND INDIFFERENCE ONCE AGAIN YOU ARE SLAIN

AND ENDURE ON THE CROSS ONCE AGAIN ALL THE PAIN.

AND YET FROM YOUR SIDE BLOOD AND WATER DOES FLOW

AS YOUR ENDLESS MERCY YOU CONTINUE TO SHOW.

PLEASE FORGIVE, DEAREST LORD, ALL THE SINNERS LIKE US

FOR AGAIN CRUCIFYING YOUR OWN SON, JESUS.
