(A reflection on the Meaning 
of the Holy Cross when Ermin E. Garcia died on May 20, 1966. – by Josie F. Garcia)

On the Glory of the Cross

 

Condemned as a traitor,

Mocked as a mad man,

Dying as a criminal,

Is this the Will of God?

 

Christ was a man

and a man with a vision He was.

For He would live for that vision

and would even die for it.

 

But when one dies for a cause,

one doesn’t choose pain

but rather, accepts it.

 

In some manner Christ taught us

that Drink means Life

and to share one’s cup

means Love.

 

And His Cup of Drink

is not just a symbol

but reality

and complete giving

of oneself.

 

His prayer is His Life,

expressed in attitude

and in reaching out to others.

 

Whoever has a vision

of the Glory of the Cross

and lives in Life

of Love & Sacrifice,

doesn’t die in vain

but in the Light of Glory.

 

And as we share

with each and everyone

the merits and blessings

of our life

as Our Lord Himself did,

we form a beautiful Cross

of ourselves

in the Glory to come.
