Between now and Easter Sunday we shall spend time in the reflection on some of the stations of the Cross
Read Mark 15:12-15
“What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?” Pilate asked them.
“Crucify him!” they shouted.
“Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate.
But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!”
Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified.
His noble innocents defined,
The trumped up charge,
The made up crime.
His silent witness
Blurs each mind,
With torture of an inward kind.
One stood amazed,
Some others blamed
whilst angry crowd
their verdict claimed.
“Him Crucify, the other free.
We want him dead, this is our plea.”
And so this king
Flogged for his crime
Golgotha sent;
This is his time,
His noble innocence defined
by cross, by crown, and will resigned.
Lord, as I look upon the current injustice, devastation and war upon innocent people in Ukraine, help me to realise that every single action of mine can bring about change that will count. Remind that I can make a difference. Help me to do what I can to dismantle the cross of injustice in the world and build from that wood an ark of refuge for all who are in need of safety. Amen
