For three days
and three nights
the Father had care
of the spirit that a crucified Man
entrusted to Him:
And that spirit
was the Lord Himself.
For thirty secret years
and more than three in service
the Son of Man displayed
that attitude and compassion,
in dry paths and chill houses,
that we call
the spirit of Christ.
From the glorified Man,
because Christ, as Man, had acceded
to being sent by the Father
has been sent the omnipotent Person
who gladly bears the title
the Spirit of Christ.
Through generations
persons freed by Christ
to be His bondmen
have given the testimony
more by their deeds than their words
that they shine with the spirit of Christ.
