THE WAY OF THE CROSS

WHEN YOU SEE SO MUCH SUFFERING AND UNENDING GRIEF,

YOU BEGIN THEN TO WONDER IF GOD WILL SEND RELIEF.

EACH NEW CROSS YOU ARE GIVEN FEELS THAT IT’S TOO MUCH TO BEAR,

TO A POINT WHERE NOW MANY ARE BEING DRAWN TO DESPAIR.

THE LIGHT THAT WAS BRIGHT SEEMS NO LONGER TO SHINE

AS THE CLOUDS OVERHEAD WITH YOUR PAIN INTERTWINE.

AS YOU CONTINUE BITTER TEARS NOW TO SHED,

YOU WONDER WHAT STILL IN YOUR LIFE LIES AHEAD.

THE HARDER YOU TRY, THE MORE YOU SEEM TO FAIL

AND WONDER IF YOU WILL ON THIS JOURNEY PREVAIL.

EACH FORWARD STEP TAKEN SEEMS TO BRING YOU BACK

TO WHERE YOU ENCOUNTERED SATAN’S LAST ATTACK.

MANY OBSTACLES ARE BEING NOW PLACED IN YOUR WAY

TO CAUSE YOU, DEAR CHILDREN, YOUR PRAYERS TO DELAY.

CONTINUE, DEAR CHILDREN, TO STAY ON THE COURSE

EVEN THOUGH THE ATTACKS  MAY APPEAR TO GET WORSE.

WHEN YOU LEARN, MY DEAR CHILDREN, ON GOD TO RELY,

ALL THE TURMOIL IN YOUR LIFE HE WILL THEN RECTIFY.

WHEN YOU BEGIN SEEKING GOD’S MERCY AND GRACE,

THEN ALL YOUR BURDENS WITH HIS GIFTS HE’LL REPLACE.
