It is a communicative journey for the willing participant. The text starts as an observational monologue and transitions into consolations to the Sorrowful Mother while pleading for her to allow us to participate both in her anguish and love for Christ. Penultimately, the participant demands that the Holy Mother allow them to share in the Passion of Christ. Finally, the participant speaks directly to Christ and begs to be allowed into Paradise.
