IN HIS IMAGE
Fr. Marino H. Msigala, OFM Capuchin
IN HIS IMAGE
I slipped His fingers; I
escaped His feet.
I ran and hid for Him; I feared to meet him.
One day, I passed Him,
fettered on a tree.
He turned His head and
looked and beckoned me.
Neither by speed nor
strength could He prevail.
Each hand and foot were
pinioned by a nail.
He could not run nor
clasp me if He tried,
but with His eyes, He
bade me reach His side.
“For pity's sake,”
thought I, “I’ll set you free.”
“Nay, take this Cross,” He
said, “and follow Me.”
This yoke is easy. This
burden light.
Not hard, nor grievous if
you wear it tight.
So did I follow Him who
could not move,
An uncaught captive in
the hands of Love.”
On this SPIRITUAL WORKOUT WEDNESDAY, remember that Christ bore the burden of our sins. He suffered, died, and rose for us. His crucifixion is our redemption. Faith does not mean being taken down from a cross; it means being lifted to heaven…sometimes by a cross.
