Relief
at St. Joseph’s Oratory
corridors
long
and silent
dark
and empty
aimlessly
wandering
these halls
footsteps
silent
in
the shadows
lost
in myself
in
relief
and
carved in stone
around
a corner
just
turned
sudden
awareness
of
a sacrifice
so
freely made
floods
me
drives
me to weep
He
went through this
for such as I?
I was in Montreal visiting some friends
and was at St. Joseph's Oratory when I
saw a representation of Christ on His
cross. Until that moment the reality of
His sacrifice had not completely struck
me. Click here to see what I saw.
