Holy Week Meditations - Last Week of Death

 “Last Week of Death”


Revolutionaries sing

In the last week of death.

Cries of “save us!” ring

In the last week of death.

They dream of overcoming

In the last week of death.


The sign of a donkey

In the last week of death.

People fail to see

In the last week of death.

Peace for humanity

In the last week of death.


The promise weeps

In the last week of death.

The blessed city sleeps

In the last week of death.

Revenge runs deep

In the last week of death.


A mysterious curse

In the last week of death.

Fruitless plants taste worse

In the last week of death.

Harsh words disperse

In the last week of death.


A precious body broken

In the last week of death

Blood becomes a token

In the last week of death.

Compassion is spoken

In the last week of death.


An agonized prayer

In the last week of death.

Friends fail to care

In the last week of death.

God seems unaware

In the last week of death.


Love feels an embrace

In the last week of death.

A kiss without care’s trace

In the last week of death.

A soft slap in the face

In the last week of death.


The rooster crows

In the last week of death.

Eyes full of sorrows

In the last week of death.

Regret continually grows

In the last week of death.


Power washes its hands

In the last week of death.

Mercy makes demands

In the last week of death.

Innocence understands

In the last week of death.


Traverse the skull hill

In the last week of death.

Hear the silent dove trill

In the last week of death.

See pure water spill

In the last week of death.


A lament from a tree

In the last week of death.

“Why have you forsaken me”

In the last week of death.

A breath of eternity

In the last week of death.


The holy barrier rips

In the last week of death.

A three-hour eclipse

In the last week of death.

Time quiets its lips

In the last week of death.
