Joined at the cross

His earthly and spiritual family
joined at the cross
in the words Christ spoke while dying
“here is your mother;
here is your son”

She already had other sons
yet they were of her flesh
He wanted to join her
with his disciples
his brothers in His walk

Joining them together
there at the cross
in his words of union
Christ ensuring the ministry
redeeming them from the lost

The church expanding
her grief, her pain assuaged
in this word of life, joining
the physical and the spiritual
one family, one body, one love
