  1. Dear Bshop Rene,

    I pray you are well. Can you believe the Triduum is here?! I thought this poem/reflection by a Cistercian Monk, before the Crucifix, might be a blessing to you in the next days. You’re in my prayers.

    A Very Joy-filled Easter! David Zarri

    The Kiss of Christ

    Lo, there He hangs — Ashened figure pinioned against the wood. God grant that I might love Him Even as I should.

    I draw a little closer To feel His love divine, And Hear Him gently whisper “Ah, precious child of mine —

    If now I would embrace you, My hands would stain you red, And if I leaned to whisper, My thorns would pierce your head.”

    ‘Twas there I learned in sorrow That love demands a price; ‘Twas then I learned that suffering is but the kiss of Christ.
