The Street (full version) : Station VIII. Jesus meets the women of Jerusalem

The daughters of Jerusalem are crying,

genuinely crying.

They are office cleaners, night shift nurses,

shopping cart women, security guards on the Métro,

clerks in bodegas, nail artists,

students, policewomen, sex workers,

all their wet faces turned up;

a river of faces.

Do not be afraid.

When you are living in a world of lies,

hearing the hard truth is a comfort.

Well, you don't need to be afraid any more.

It's good to see the truth and know it for certain,

that Love, unimaginably vast and powerful,

eternal, magnificent, working wonders;

is infinitely vulnerable to rough handling.

Filiæ Jerusalem, venite, et videte Christum

cum coronis qui coronavit eum Dominus

in die solemnitatis et lætitiæ.
