There is a beautiful prayer in The Valley of Vision entitled “Love Lustres at Calvary.” The worshipper piles up descriptions of what Christ endured on the cross for our sake. I’ve paraphrased some of it’s content here:
Christ was…
Cast off that I might be welcomed
Stripped that I might be clothed
Wounded that I might be healed
Athirst that I might drink
Tormented that I might be comforted
Shamed that I might be glorified
Cast into darkness that I might have light
Crowned with thorns that I might be crowned with righteousness
Killed that I might live
(VoV, 42)
