Refined by Fire

Blessed is the one who has
Tasted the cup of the Master—
Rejected, lied to,
Cursed and spat upon.
Blessed is the one who
Falls down in trembling gratitude as a
Sharer in those sufferings.
Blessed is the one whose wounds have become
A window through which
Divine light pours forth into others.
Blessed is the one whose
Tears have plenteously watered the
Seeds of compassion.
Blessed is the one whose
Scars speak sermons
No words could preach.
Blessed is the one who
Serves not despite his crucifixion,
But through it.
Blessed is the one whose
Eyes are fixed on Pentecost,
Heart ablaze,
Hand raised,
In blessing
Over the very world that wounded him.
