THE GIFT OF THE CROSS

WE THANK YOU, DEAR JESUS, FOR YOUR LOVE AND COMPASSION

BY LETTING US BEAR OUR CROSS THRU YOUR PASSION.

WE THANK YOU, DEAR JESUS, FOR ALLOWING US TO

WALK ON THE JOURNEY TO CALVARY WITH YOU.

IF YOU HAD NOT CARRIED OUR CROSS AS YOUR OWN,

WE COULD NOT HAVE MADE THIS JOURNEY ALONE.

FORGIVE US, DEAR JESUS, IF WE SEEM UNAWARE

THAT EACH CROSS WE NOW CARRY YOU ALSO MUST BEAR.

WE THANK YOU, DEAR JESUS, FOR SHARING THIS GIFT

EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE TIMES WE CANNOT OUR CROSS LIFT.

WE KNOW THAT OUR CROSS WITH YOURS CANNOT COMPARE;

STILL WE THANK YOU FOR EACH PRECIOUS GIFT THAT YOU SHARE.
