On lui rend ses ve tements et la croix lui est apportee. Salut, dit Jesus, o Croix que j'ai longtemps desiree! Et toi, regarde, chretien, et fremis! Ah, quel instant solennel! Que celui ou le Christ pour la premiere fois accepte la croix eternelle! O consommation en ce jour de l'arbre dans le Paradis! Regarde, pecheur, et vois a quoi ton peche a servi. Plus de crime sans un Dieu dessus et plus de croix sans le Christ! Certes le malheur de l'homme est grand, mais nous n'avons rien a dire, Car Dieu est maintenant dessus, qui est venu non pas expliquer mais remplir. Jesus recoit la Croix comme nous recevonsla Sainte Eucharistie.
