Reflections of the Passion



                            By Jennifer Gladen




When I am Worried, I think of your Passion and am reminded it was out of worry for us that you endured the Cross.

When I am Sad, I think of your Passion and am reminded of the sadness which filled Mary’s heart at your suffering.

When I am Surprised, I think of your Passion and am reminded of your surprising courage and strength you showed.




When I am Excited, I think of your Passion and am reminded of the excitement yet to come when you return for us, O Lord.


When I am Happy, I think of your Passion and am reminded of the happiness you gained for us in Heaven.When I am Loving, I think of your Passion and am reminded of your words: "there is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for a friend."




Now I am grateful when I think of your Passion because I'm reminded after the cross comes the crown.
