Faithful Cross

NotesThis text tries to express, through Tom’s haunting melody and harmony, the meaning of the crossas I’ve learned it from dozens of sources, maybe hundreds, in my life. The lyric references ancienttraditions about the cross as well as newer insights. I hope it helps more of us see that the paschalmystery is about the political world in which we live, and how God peacefully subverts thestructures of violence, unmasking them, and offering us a choice for a different future. Caesar, orGod? Pax Romana, or peace through justice? Death, or life? The reign of God, the possibility of anew world, is as close as turning around, as close as choosing to “turn away from sin, and believein the gospel.”

—Rory Cooney

This began as a musical setting of “Crux Fidelis,” the chant for Good Friday found in The RomanMissal. At OCP’s urging, Rory and I decided to offer an alternative text that would draw onmultiple images of the cross, spanning Old and New Testaments. The original version withtraditional text is available online from OCP in edition 30110393. While the score and recordingsuggest women singing the verses with male accompaniment, you could easily flip this for varietyin the performance.

In addition, we offer the music as a backdrop for use with the text of “Stabat Mater,” with anadded refrain that could be sung after every 2 or 3 stations. This would help get the music in theminds and hearts of your assembly so that on Good Friday it could be sung from the heart.

—Tom Kendzia

Usage:This piece is suitable for Palm Sunday and on Good Friday, during the veneration. It would makea good piece during Lent, particularly on the 2nd Sunday of Lent each year, and also on the Feastof the Transfiguration (August 6) and the Feast of the Triumph of the Cross (September 14), whenthose fall on Sunday. In each year of the Lectionary cycle, there are a number of Sundays whenthe cross figures into the Scriptures in one way or another. For instance, in Year B, the Solemnityof the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi), and explicitly on the 24th and 25thSundays in Ordinary Time. In Year C, the 12th Sunday in Ordinary Time, and in year A, the 27thSunday. But it will depend on the preaching, too, because so much of St. Paul’s writing and theuniversal letters as well are reflections about the cross.

4. Christ above in torment hangs, She beneath beholds the pangs Of her dying, glorious Son.

5. Is there one who would not weep, Whelmed in miseries so deep, Christ’s dear Mother to behold?

6. Can the human heart refrain From partaking in her pain, In that Mother’s pain untold?

7. Bruised, derided, cursed, defiled, She beheld her tender Child, All with bloody scourges rent.

8. For the sins of his own nation Saw him hang in desolation Till his spirit forth he sent.

9. O thou Mother! Font of love, Touch my spirit from above, Make my heart with thine accord.

10. Make me feel as thou hast felt; Make my soul to glow and melt With the love of Christ, my Lord.

11. Holy Mother, pierce me through, In my heart each wound renew Of my Savior crucified.

12. Let me share with thee his pain, Who for all my sins was slain, Who for me in torment died.

13. Let me mingle tears with thee, Mourning him who mourned for me, All the days that I may live.

14. By the cross with thee to stay; There with thee to weep and pray, All I ask of thee to give.

15. Virgin of all Virgins blest! Listen to my fond request: Let me share thy grief divine.
