Representative Text

1 Cabeza ensangrentada, cubierta de sudar,
de espinas coronada, y llena de dolor:
¡oh celestial cabeza, tan maltratada aquí
tu sin igual belleza es gloria para mí!

2 Cubrió tu noble frente la palidez mortal,
cual velo transparente de tu sufrir señal.
Cerróse aquella boca, la lengua enmudeció:
la fría muerte toca al que la vida dio.

3 Señor, lo que has llevado, yo solo merecí;
la culpa que has pagado al juez yo la debí.
Mas mírame; confío en tu cruz y pasíon.
Otórgame, bien mío, la gracia del perdón.

4 Agradecido vengo a ti, mi redentor,
por tu bondad sin cuento, tu muerte y tu dolor.
Aquí prometo y juro que te obedeceré,
amigo fiel, seguro consumador de fe.

5 En mi última agonía, revélame tu faz;
tu cruz será mi guía, en paz me llevarás;
tu imagen contemplando entrego mi alma a ti,
sólo en tu cruz confiando. ¡Feliz quien muere así!

Author: St. Bernard of Clairvaux

Bernard of Clairvaux, saint, abbot, and doctor, fills one of the most conspicuous positions in the history of the middle ages. His father, Tecelin, or Tesselin, a knight of great bravery, was the friend and vassal of the Duke of Burgundy. Bernard was born at his father's castle on the eminence of Les Fontaines, near Dijon, in Burgundy, in 1091. He was educated at Chatillon, where he was distinguished for his studious and meditative habits. The world, it would be thought, would have had overpowering attractions for a youth who, like Bernard, had all the advantages that high birth, great personal beauty, graceful manners, and irresistible influence could give, but, strengthened in the resolve by night visions of his mother (who had died in 1… Go to person page >
