J.M.J.
FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR SOUL
WHEN MY SON BORE HIS CROSS, HE WAS NOT COMPLAINING
BECAUSE HE KNEW THEN WHAT FOR YOU HE WAS GAINING.
HE PAID, MY DEAR CHILDREN, THE ULTIMATE PRICE
WHEN HIS BODY FOR YOU HE DID SACRIFICE.
THOUGH HIS DROPS OF BLOOD YOU NO LONGER CAN SEE,
THE PATH STILL REMAINS WHICH LEADS TOWARDS CALVARY.
ALTHOUGH MY SON SUFFERED AND DIED FOR MANKIND,
HE’S REACHING OUT NOW FOR ASSISTANCE TO FIND.
THERE IS NOT MUCH TIME, MY DEAR CHILDREN, REMAINING;
PLEASE CARRY YOUR CROSSES WITHOUT TOO MUCH COMPLAINING.
ALTHOUGH AN EXAMPLE FOR YOU MY SON SET,
THE WAY OF THE CROSS MANY TEND TO FORGET.
HOW WILL YOU, MY DEAR CHILDREN, ON THIS JOURNEY ADVANCE
IF YOU LAY DOWN YOUR CROSSES AND THERE IS NO OTHER CHANCE.
WHEN YOU BRING ALL YOUR BURDENS AND LAY THEM AT HIS FEET,
THEN YOU’LL KNOW, MY DEAR CHILDREN, THAT YOUR JOURNEY’S COMPLETE.
BUT UNTIL YOU SUCCEED IN REACHING THIS GOAL,
YOU MUST CARRY YOUR CROSSES FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR SOUL.
ALTHOUGH, MY DEAR CHILDREN, YOUR BURDENS SEEM GREAT,
THE REWARDS ARE MUCH GREATER THAT FOR YOU NOW AWAIT.
“THY WILL BE DONE”
