Ash Wednesday to Pentecost
Conommitance
- Brother of Gethsemane
Whose suffering was for carelessness,
Humility for boastfulness,
Betrayal for our fickleness. - Jesus crowned in cruel jest,
A twisted thorn for cruelty,
A Jewel of blood for poverty,
A purple robe for vanity. - King of meekness lashed in scorn,
A wound for each triumphant cry,
A reed for what I would deny,
A taunt for quickly passing by. - Emperor crucified for me,
A nail struck true for crookedness,
A cup of gall for bitterness,
A cry for failure to confess.
