Haiku to unite a
people.
The hour has come;
things move
inexorably
to their conclusion.
Jesus' work is done.
Just one last task
before him;
shouldn't be too
hard.
We struggle to
grasp:
the Son will be
glorified
as he meets his
death.
Receiving God's
word,
he opened it to his
friends,
sharing the wonder.
Touched by divine
grace
he speaks of life
eternal:
communion with God.
He prays for his
friends,
knowing he must
soon depart,
leaves them in God's
care.
Father, keep them
safe
beyond this hour.
Unite them;
ground them in your
love.
