Can you drink the cup that I am going to drink? ~Matthew 20:22
No happy cup
you offer
so full of pain
and sorrow
laced with suffering
to enormous excess
yet overflowing
with unrequited love
stronger
than death
to drink your cup
...to be cleansed
by the water and blood
gushing forth
from your side
...to pass through death
into gloriously new
and risen life
O Passion of Christ,
strengthen me
to drink your cup
and live!
