            Frailty

            I am the one building my house upon the sand.
            ...blind and leading the blind.
            ...rich and exceedingly sorrowful.
            ...making a vow I will not fulfill.
            ...unable to cast the first stone.
            ...bringing the head of John the Baptist.
            ...selling my wares in the Temple.
            ...giving the kiss of betrayal.
            ...bearing false witness, spitting in His face.
            ...with the angry crowd crying, "Crucify Him!"
            ...standing at the foot of the cross.
            ...almost persuaded.
