James Marshall Goff Poet Free verse

Felix Culpa

Mantle of sufferings

Thrust upon us all
We share in His Agony
And lift His Cross
With our tribulations

No hope, no light
Without darkness

His Resurrection is
Our hope, our light

The way of death is
The way of life

Eternity, our salvation

Began...

On 
A Friday
Afternoon


Good Friday Afternoon 
2022

Paul Callus July 9, 2022 at 3:58 AM This is a most fitting poem that combines together the importance of those 3 days which serve as a basis for our salvation, James. ~ Best regards // paul James Marshall Goff July 9, 2022 at 2:46 PM Thank Paul, you're always so kind and supportive, I appreciate it, taking care of my 93yr old mom is stressful these days & your kindness helps...jim

Sara Kendrick June 27, 2022 at 11:21 AM I like this one. A very simple faith based telling of the old, old story. I enjoyed reading it this afternoon. Thanks for your visit to my page. I am glad that you let me know that you are still caring for your mom. I know that is a big and important responsibility. It is good that you are doing this for her in her old age.

Panagiota Romios June 11, 2022 at 1:48 PM In high school, we had to attend Tres Hores, three Hours in Church, in Chicago. From noon to three, in remembrance of that day. Today, it’s a day to go shopping??? When I was young, there was no shopping on the Lord’s Day. Well crafted poem. Panagiota Panagiota Romios June 12, 2022 at 10:42 PM I love incense, the smell of candles, and Gregorian chant. Seeing bowed heads in humility. Instead of riots, fires, etc. I think I was blessed to live many serene years. Hope you did, too. Huggs, Panagiota xx James Marshall Goff June 11, 2022 at 5:12 PM Love Easter Week, thx Pangie!

Anil Deo May 18, 2022 at 7:01 AM It is never too late for Good Friday, " the way of death is the way TO life," how true. Thank you Jesus

Lisa Ricci April 20, 2022 at 8:06 AM Good Morning James - Hi. What a beautiful explanation that is very soft and inspiring. Yes, the way of life. May there always be light for one and all. Have a wonderful day and thank you for sharing your poetic talent. Keep enjoying poetrysoup.

John Watt April 15, 2022 at 11:12 AM James, these words describe why we call it "Good Friday". God's plan of salvation had to go through Calvary. "His Resurrection is Our hope, our light". Amen! Thank you for sharing this, a Fave for me. May God bless your Good Friday and Easter with hope and joy ~ John
