The Cross
(thoughts for Lent and Holy Week)

The cross is the hope of Christians.
The cross is the resurrection of the dead.
The cross is the way of the lost.
The cross is the staff of the lame.
The cross is the guide of the blind.
The cross is the strength of the weak.
The cross is the doctor of the sick.
The cross is the aim of the priests.
The cross is the hope of the hopeless.
The cross is the freedom of the slaves.
The cross is the power of the kings.
The cross is the consolation of the bondmen.
The cross is the source of those who seek water.
The cross is the cloth of the naked.
The cross is healing of the broken.
The cross is the peace of the church.
We thank you, Father, for the cross.
(a 10th century African hymn)
