Did you think, Prefect Pilate, that a means of execution
would have become a sign of joyous hope, in such profusion?---
and that this instrument of torture and of condemnation
would represent the Savior's Gospel of Salvation?
Grace provides the total, spiritual transformation---
not daunted even by the very worst of degradation:
and in this process, their souls can exult in jubilation,
in what Saint Jude has called the Common Salvation.
