This the day so long
foretold
The day of little light
The day of justice lacking
The day of man’s ingratitude
The day of cowardice and fear
This the day of torture and sorrow
The day of darkness and death
The day of horror and pain
The day of weeping women
This the day sin prevailed
The day so profound and tragic
The day of death and new life
The day with kiss betrayed
This the day your apostles fled
The day Peter knew you not
The day the cock crowed thrice
The day of whips and chains
The day of piercing thorns
This the day of spittle and stones
The day of splintered wood
The day your cross bearing
The day of multiple falls
The day of Simon’s helping hand
This the day of Veronica’s veil
The day your mother sobbed
The day her heart broken
The day of human slaughter
This the day your limbs dislocated
The day hammers struck the nails
The day of severed nerves
The day hands and feet fastened to a tree
The day my sins held you there
This the day you gasped for air
The day you hung in writhing pain
The day John the only Apostle there
This the day your Sacred Heart pierced
The day blood and water flowed
The day your blood watered the soil
The day even you felt forsaken
This the day another rejected heaven
The day Mary became my mother
The day she embraced her children
The day your killers forgiven
The day you reopened the gates
This the day you died for me
The day a tomb not your own
The day of our redemption
The day salvation offered
The day of transforming grace
This the day always
to remember
