The day between Good Friday and Easter. Darkness and death surrounding. Everywhere.
Surely our lives have felt this way. For many, it occurs too often.
Mozart wrote a setting of the death of Christ in June of 1791, less than six months before his own death.
Ave Verum Corpus - W.A. Mozart
Jesus, word of God incarnate.
Of the Virgin Mary born.
On the cross Thy sacred body
For us men with nails was torn.
Cleanse us by the blood and water
Streaming from Thy pierced side.
Feed us with Thy body broken.
Now, and in death's agony.
