We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you.
Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.
I make myself watch the nails being driven through his flesh. And I watch his face.
I contemplate the completeness of his entry into our lives.
Can there be any pain or agony he would not understand?
This is for me. Nailed to a cross to forever proclaim liberty to captives. What sorrow and gratitude fill my heart!
