In the footseps of the King,
may you journey to the cross.
From cheering
to jeering crowds
may you drink in the fullness of emotion –
heights of joy
depths of sorrow,
embracing the heart of Christ.
May present sounds and sights
constantly remind you
of the call and purpose of your journey –
and walking toward Golgatha
may you eagerly invite others
to witness
the compassion of the cross,
the power of the empty tomb,
and the hope of a resurrected Lord.
