Here I am lord, pinioned by intolerable pain, I lie on the cross with you and find that my heart too is miraculously opened and so, in some mysterious way, I too am held in the Glory and the Mercy of the passion. Thus I am changed for evermore, knowing that, even in the centre of the most horrendous, indescribable pain, I am closer still to you and can reach out to feel you with me in this most barren and bleakest of places.
There is no place you are not and therefore even here I am safe, for your love strengthens me and my tiny flicker of light is part of your vast and infinite being. Amen
