Notes About The Poem

This is a co written piece by Liam Mc Daid and angeline lin In fourteen syllables.to represent the stations of the cross Fourteen lines each step Then fourteen stations the holy trinity Hence in four rows of three the name of the cross Finishing with two when he was taken down as a sign of bowing one's head down in our shame

The Blessing of the Holy Trinity In Easter Light

Condemned king to death by Pirate, scourged and crowned with thorns 
Flesh torn in payment for our sins, Jesus took up His cross
Falling for the first time drained by weight upon his shoulders 

Surrounded by hate,  his mother's presence lighted his face 
Footsteps began faltering Simon helps carry his cross 
Veronica wiped man's cruelty from our Saviour's face 

Falling a second time his strength failed dwindling to the ground 
Kind women weep not for for me but yourself and children's sake 
He fell a third time dragged then prodded to move forward 

Stripped of his garments my merciless executioners 
Nailed unto a cross hands and feet until his cruel end
He commended his soul to the Father's love then breathed his last 

Taken down placed onto our blessed mother's loving arms 
His body wrapped and anointed with spices placed in the tomb
