Such grief is not Lent\u2019s goal; But to be led to where God\u2019s glory flashes\u00a0i<\/span><\/a> For by your holy cross and passion you redeemed the world\u00a0ii<\/span><\/a> The message of the cross is folly to those who are perishing But to us who are being saved\u00a0it is the power of God. iii<\/span><\/a> [We] are getting deaf, so that when we find ourselves in trouble, we prefer to listen to the enemies that harry us. But when will spring arrive for us? iv<\/span><\/a> Struggling with the devil of the stairs who wears the deceitful face of hope and of despair Where shall the word be found, where will the word Resound? v<\/span><\/a> Yet even now\u2026\u201dReturn to me with your whole heart\u201d\u00a0vi<\/span><\/a>\u00a0 Make clear, make clear, make clear where truth and light appear!\u00a0vii<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
