A song of the Penitentes.

Following the trail of the cross that Jesus carried, the Virgin Mary met John the Baptist and said: "Has a son of my womb passed through here?" "Yes, my Lady. He was carrying a scaffold on His shoulders." Mary fell to the ground in a faint. He said, "Get up; there is no time to lose. Your Son carried a cross; in His hands He carried three nails. He had a crown of thorns." Alas, Jesus that for me You are undergoing this fate. They are taking You to die to redeem our sins.
