| Jesus is condemned to death
We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You.
Because by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world.
Before Pilate, Jesus stood: unbowed,
unbroken, unafraid.
"Are you king?" Pilate cried.
"I am," Jesus replied.
"We have no king but Caesar.
Crucify him. Crucify him."
Then Pilate stood before Jesus: bowed,
broken, afraid.
He handed him over first to be scourged
and then to be crucified.
May we feel no bitter hatred,
When we too are persecuted,
left alone to walk with you.
