Lent 2024: Christ Beside Us

Three men shared death upon a hill
But only one man died;
A thief and God Himself—
Made rendezvous.

Three crosses still
Are borne up Calvary’s hill, 
Where sin still lifts them high;
Upon the one sag broken men 
Who, cursing, die;

Another holds the praying thief,
Or those who, penitent as he,
Still find the Christ 
Beside them on the tree.
~Miriam Lefevere Crouse “Upon a Hill”

On which cross are we??
