My people, what have I done to thee, or in what have I grieved thee? Answer me.

Sepulchre tonight, Santissima Trinita dei Pellegrini, Rome.

My people, what have I done to thee, or in what have I grieved thee? Answer me.

Because I brought thee out of the land of Egypt, thou hast prepared a cross for thy Saviour.

Because I led thee through the desert forty years: and fed thee with manna, and brought thee into a land exceedingly good, thou hast prepared a cross for thy Saviour.
