This week's episode couldn't hold me captive. It was, after all, competing with Latin homework. I only watched with half an eye. But sometimes that's all it takes...
House's patient was reenacting the Crucifixtion in payment for God sparing his daughter's life. It was horrific to watch his friends pounding the nails through his hands and hauling the cross upright.
I have a hard enough time leaving my troubles at the foot of the Cross. I'm pretty sure I don't have the courage to let someone hang me on it.
It's easy to watch others struggle with their own troubles. So many are lost in a world of anger and pain and fear. They stand - unable to fall - at the feet of Christ with no notion of how to let go of anything.
We were singing a song called At the Foot of the Cross at church this weekend. Being scheduled at all three Masses means we sing the same music several times while preparing for the Masses and then during them. That's okay. If a song's worth using to enhance a worship service, it's worth singing multiple times.
At the foot of the cross, where grace and suffering meet... At the foot of the cross, where I am made complete. You have shown me Your love through the judgment You received. You have given me life through the death you bore for me. And [YES] you've won my heart. Now I can turn these ashes into to beauty. And wear forgiveness like a crown. Coming to kiss the feet of mercy, I lay every burden down... At the foot of the cross.
Easier said than done, but there we have it. Christ is willing to bear our burdens.
Now we just have to let Him.
