Mysteries of Good Friday - Reflection by Matthew Engesser

Darkness came upon the Earth
As he climbed the cross that day

And silence rang out loudly
Birds song even ceased to play


The smell of death was fragrant
As his blood spilled to the ground

And inside me my heart was broken
Hope was nowhere to be found



Then looking up I saw
Him gasp for one last breath

A cloth about him fluttered
but his body hung still in death


How can this day be good
God himself has died

We think we see so clearly
But the things before us hide


It’s only in the darkness
That light is clearly seen

It’s only in the silence
That I hear your voice in me


It’s only in the pain
That we learn what true love is

And it’s only in your dying
That your life inside us lives
