did not come to seek the just, but to call sinners to repentance? Who came to heal the sick? Who was beaten with rods and treated most bitterly for the sins of others? Whence comes such strength of one blood to destroy all the sins of the human race? Through which man, the only-begotten son, is the approach made to the Father? Who delivered our names, snatched from darkness, to be inscribed in heaven? Who commanded and taught us to pour out prayers in our greatest necessities? To whom was given power and authority in heaven and on earth? Whom do the Angels adore, saying Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord of Hosts? What God, and the Word made Flesh, was born man? What holy unicorn, before whom every knee is forced to bend? Who sacrificed in the temple at Jerusalem? Who led the Egyptians out with a powerful hand? Who was baptized by John in the Jordan?

Who was fixed to the cross in his naked body, given vinegar to drink in his thirst and agony of death, and affected by insults and beatings? Who, miserably groaning, called upon God with seven most holy words? Who, concluding the Testament of the elect, said, It is finished? Whence came the portents and miracles after the death of one man? Ah most joyful, most desired, honey-sweet, flower-filled sepulcher. Ah the tears of Mary and the blessed. Ah the Paradise of the Thief. Ah the divine angelic company of the funeral of the Almighty. Ah the balsam-wounded son of man. Ah the heaven-carrying linens of the Lord.
