JESUS IS BURIED IN THE TOMB
CHRIST SPEAKS:
So ends my mortal life.
But now another life begins
for Mary,
and for Magdalene,
for Peter and for John,
and you.
My life's work is done.
My work within and through my church
must now commence.
I look to you , my other self.
Day in, day out, from this time forth,
be my apostle--
victim--
saint.
I REPLY:
My Jesus, Lord,
you know my spirit is willing
as my flesh is weak.
The teaching you could not impart,
the sufferings you could not bear,
the works of love you could not do
in your short life on earth,
let me impart,
and bear,
and do
through you.
But I am nothing, Lord.
Help me!
