Good Friday

Good Friday,

A divine spirit sacrifices,

It’s life forsaken for the good of humanity.

It’s a heart filled with love and compassion

It’s courage and forbearance inspires

And uplifts others. 

That is what humans do

When their life is transformed 

By the touch of divinity.

Their spirits glow fearlessly,

To send a message of love and hope to all

Again and again, such spirits descend.

On the alter of life their sacrifice

Brings meaning to life,

For the love and for the good of all.

Spirit of Good Friday is well and alive,

See it in the faces of all, working tirelessly 

To protect us all.

See it in the face of a doctor,

See it in the face of a nurse, a health care worker

See it in the face, standing behind a grocery counter.

See it in the faces of all

Who at the time of crisis

Rise to challenge and carry the cross.
