PSALM:
For when the ropes of death wrapped buying around me and terrifying torrents of destruction overwhelmed me, taking me to death's door, to doom's domain, I cried out to you in my distress. (18:4-6)
POEM:
...Could not My Father instantly send down
Legions of angels in one thunderous gust?
Before a hair of my head was touched,
My enemies would scatter like the dust.
But now the book of life has reached a page
Most precious and most holy. What the pen
Foretold in Scripture here must be fulfilled.
Let prophecy come to pass. Amen...
- Boris Pasternak
GOSPEL READING:
My soul is swallowed up in sorrow —to the point of death... My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done. Matthew 26
MEDITATION:
Your most difficult battle in life is your effort to overcome yourself.
- Thomas A Kempis
During the days of Jesus' life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission.
Hebrews 5:7
