Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion
Why was Christ born to die? Disturbed at midnight, I awake, my prayer calms. Then again, crashing rain, rain of sorrow, full of rage, again prayer settles into peace. Dawn enters diffused behind dark clouds, pain, searing pain, I must accept, my share. Three times I asked; Lord, please take care of me, three times faith in Christ human has illumed Christ divine is there to join, to die again with me in my suffering. (Mt 26:14—27:66)
