Jesus Is Condemned To Death
Because by Your holy Cross You have redeemed the world.
The chief priests and the entire Sanhedrin kept trying to obtain false testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death, but they found none, though many false witnesses came forward (Mt 26:59-60).
O Jesus, meek and uncomplaining, teach me resignation in trials.
Through her heart, His sorrow sharing
All His bitter anguish bearing
Now at length the sword has passed
