not to the manger but to the cross


 
the journey of Lent, unlike Advent,
not to the manger but to the cross
anticipation, a path we follow,
to the sacrifice of Jesus
His death for our sins
a descent to dying
at the place of the skull,
to fulfill the law, the prophets,
the widening shadows, humiliation,
the cost to God for our transgressions
the journey of Lent, anticipation, unfolding
leading to the blessed Easter Sunday morning
