Notes (3)
“O my people, what have I done to thee? Or how have I offended you?
Answer me.”
Unique to today, “The Reproaches” are sung at mass. A somber recollection that I am the cause of Christ’s passion. That after all he has done for me, I still turn away. That I fail to respond to his invitation with the love it merits. That I am deserving of reproaches. Lord Jesus Christ, son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
