Here’s
a thoughtful prayer reflection for Good Friday.

Endings
When
the alleluias fall silent
and
the story comes to a stop
and
the words fade out mid-sentence
and
even the stones keep quiet
and
those who still find there is something to say
shout
for the wrong side
then
you know
the
Lord of Life
has
finished the parable
with
one final sentence
'It
is finished'
and
the tragedy bows its final bow in the world
and
is entombed
all
that remains
is
the fear
that
we may never find our voices again
and
we will forget
how
to speak of love
now
the word
has
been silenced
and
the story
run
out of endings
