Give it up for Lent!
I left the precinct
The facade that opposes me every day
To walk through a monument valley
made of steel and glass
A Lenten pilgrimage
Illuminated prayer cards,
Saint Lucy was an aficionado
Sometimes my burden is more than I can bare
Help me, Lord, to be quiet about it
Beneficence of sunlight
Abundant air
One enters through
the Holy Door of Mercy
Pope Francis declared 2016 a Holy Year
A somber wreath
The color of Lent
Jesus is condemned to death
Jesus is made to carry the cross
Jesus falls the first time
Jesus meets his Mother
Simon of Cyrene helps Jesus carry the cross
Veronica wipes the face of Jesus
Jesus falls for the second time
Jesus meets the women of Jerusalem
Jesus falls for the third time
Jesus is stripped of his clothes
Jesus is nailed to the cross
Jesus dies on the cross
Out of the dream we dream
Into a supreme reality
The body of Jesus is
Taken down from the Cross
The body of Jesus
is laid in the tomb
In Lent one renews his vow
To walk in their footsteps
To join the Communion of the Saints
I continued on in a state of grace
Mild weather and peace
Singing
Flowers the color of Lent
