2. Jesus bears his cross
I watched his father, Joseph,
As he fashioned the boy’s cradle.
His cradle was made of the finest wood;
Well seasoned, well shaped, well joined,
Fashioned with love and skill:
But sometimes he protested
When Mary laid him in it
To sleep...

6. A woman wipes the face of Jesus
What could I do to help him,
That great man, going to his death?
I am only a simple, sinful woman.
Help us to help each other, Lord,
In the best way we can...
