Thank you for the cross, Lord.........

Thank you for the cross, Lord......... 

My dear Saviour, let me ask You
since You art nailed to the cross
and since You sayest Yourself: It is finished!
Am I now set free from death?
May I, through Your suffering and death,
inherit heaven?
Has salvation come for the entire world?
True, You canst not speak for pain,
yet your head You bowest
And tacitly You sayest: Yes!

Jesus, You Who wert dead,
now livest forever;
in my last agony
nowhere will I turn but to You
Who hast redeemed me.
O my beloved Lord!
Give me only that which You hast won,
more I do not desire.

'Yes' and 'no' are little words, Lord, but they are very powerful. The Son of God said 'yes' and submitted himself to the joys and pains of our life. Mary said 'yes' and submitted to the mystery of bearing the incarnate God. Jesus said 'yes' and submitted to Gethsemane and torture and death on a cross. Today you invite us to say 'Yes' by saying 'No'. If we follow Jesus we will deny ourselves, and take up our cross. This is the only way of saying 'Amen' or 'Yes' to him. To deny ourselves is to love him, and our neighbour. Thank you for the cross, Lord. Thank you for the price you paid to demonstrate God's eternal love for us, to atone for our sins, and free us from the powers of evil and the fear of death. Amen.
