A crown of thorns encircles every head
Who bravely bears their crosses on this earth
Who as their souls’ own captors are self-led
In Justice’ name to undergo rebirth.
For Jesus’ Passion teaches us to bear
With holy strength the sorrows of this life:
To let our faith each bleeding wound repair,
To learn the value of a sacrifice.
For with each step we make on our own Ways of Grief
The Blessed Feet have cleared the path before.
Emerging from the throngs to bring relief,
He fights in our name our sorrows' war.
Let spirits not by selves be crucified;
Let gratitude for Life be Mercy’s guide.
