Alone Thou Goest Forth, O Lord, In Sacrifice To Die; Is This Thy Sorrow Naught To Us Who Pass Unheeding By?

We Call An Intention Good Which Is Right In Itself, But The Action Is Good, Not Because It Contains Within It Some Good, But Because It Issues From A Good Intention.
Are You Not Moved To Tears And Bitter Compassion, When You Behold The Only Son Of God Seized By The Most Impious, Dragged Away, Mocked, Scourged, Buffeted, Spit Upon, Crowned With Thorns, Hung Upon The Infamous Cross Between Two Thieves, Finally In Such A Horrible And Execrable Manner Suffering Death, For Your Salvation And That Of The World?
