Christ Speaks
So ends my mortal life.
But now another life begins
for Mary,
and for Magdalen,
for Peter and for John,
and you.
My life's work is done.
My work within and through my church
must now commence.
I look to you, my other self.
Day in, day out, from this time forth,
by my apostle --
victim --
saint.

The Fourteenth Station Jesus is Buried

I Reply
My Jesus, Lord,
You know my spirit is as willing
as my flesh is weak.
The teaching you could not impart,
the sufferings you could not bear,
the works of love you could not do
in your short life on earth,
let me impart,
and be,
and do
through you.
But I am nothing, Lord.
Help me!
