    MARY sank to her knees, her agony too deep for words. Still echoing in her ears was her son’s last outcry as he died after hours of torment. The sky had gone dark at midday. Now the earth shook violently. (Matthew 27:45, 51)
    As the afternoon light dispelled the gloom shrouding Golgotha, or Skull Place, Mary grieved for her son. (John 19:17,25) Memories likely flooded her mind. One that may have surfaced was a recollection from some 33 years earlier. When she and Joseph had just presented their precious baby at the temple in Jerusalem, an aged man named Simeon was inspired to utter a prophecy. He foretold great things for Jesus, but he added that one day, Mary would come to feel as if she were run through by a long sword. (Luke 2:25-35) Only now, in this tragic hour, did she fully grasp the truth of those words.
    It has been said that the death of one’s own child is the worst, the most painful, loss that a human can face.
    Still, what words could convey the pain that Mary felt as she saw her son suffer a terrible death on a torture stake? An eyewitness to the execution, the apostle John, later included this telling detail in his account: During the ordeal, Mary was standing “by the torture stake of Jesus.” Nothing could prevent that loyal, loving mother from standing by her son to the very last. Jesus saw her, and though every breath he drew was an agony and every word he uttered cost him dearly, he spoke. He placed his mother in the care of his beloved apostle John. (John 19:25-27)
    When Jesus’ death at last came, Mary felt the pain foretold so long ago, the piercing long sword of grief. If we find it hard to imagine the extent of her grief, how much more so are we at a loss to imagine the joy she felt three days later! Mary learned of the greatest of all miracles -Jesus had been resurrected! And her joy was compounded, for Jesus later appeared to his half brother James, no doubt in private. (1 Corinthians 15:7) That meeting affected James and Jesus’ other half brothers as well. We later learn that they came to believe in Jesus as the Christ. Soon, they were at Christian meetings with their mother, “persisting in prayer.” (Acts 1:14)
    We find the last mention of Mary at the meetings with her sons, praying. What a fitting end to Mary’s record. Because of her faith, she survived the sword of grief and received, at last, a glorious reward. (John 10:27,28)

    First Movement:
    "My son, my chosen and beloved
    Share your wounds with your mother
    And because, dear son,
    I have always carried you in my heart,
    And always served you faithfully
    Speak to your mother, to make her happy,
    Although you are already leaving me, my cherished hope".
    (Lamentation from the collection of medieval passion poems from Benedictine Monastery of St. Cross on Łysa Góra, Poland. Second half of the 15th century. Author unknown).
    Second Movement:
    "No, mother, do not weep.
    Most chaste Queen of Heaven
    Support me always.
    Hail Mary, full of grace".
    (Prayer inscribed on the wall of cell no. 3 in the basement of "Palace" - the Gestapo's headquarters in Zakopane, Poland; Beneath was the signature: Helena Wanda Błażusiakówna, 18 years old, imprisoned since 26 September 1944").
    [Helena Błażusiak survived torture without betraying her comrades and then she managed to escape from deportation train. She died in 1999].
    Third Movement:
    "Where has he gone
    My dearest son?
    Perhaps during the uprising
    The cruel enemy killed him
    Ah, you bad people
    In the name of God, the most Holy,
    Tell me, why did you kill
    My son?
    Never again
    Will I have his support
    Even if I cry
    My old eyes out
    Were my bitter tears
    to create another River Oder
    They would not restore to life
    My son
    He lies in his grave
    and I know not where
    Though I keep asking people
    Everywhere
    Perhaps the poor child
    Lies in a rough ditch
    and instead he could have been
    lying in his warm bed
    Oh, sing for him
    God's little song-birds
    Since his mother
    Cannot find him
    And you, God's little flowers
    May you blossom all around
    So that my son
    May sleep happily".
    (The folk song from the period of the Silesian Uprisings of 1919-1921).

    Część I:
    "Synku miły i wybrany
    Rozdziel z Matką swoje rany;
    A wszakom Cię, Synku miły
    W swem sercu nosiła
    A takież Tobie wiernie służyła,
    Przemów k Matce
    Bych się ucieszyła,
    Bo już jidziesz ode mnie
    Moja Nadziejo miła".
    (fragment "Lamentu świętokrzyskiego" z opactwa benedyktyńskiego na Świętym Krzyżu. Lata 70-te XV w. Autor nieznany).
    Część II:
    "Mamo, nie płacz, nie.
    Niebios Przeczysta Królowo,
    Ty zawsze wspieraj mnie.
    Zdrowaś Mario, Łaskiś Pełna".
    (modlitwa wyryta przez młodą łączniczkę ZWZ-AK w celi katowni gestapo. Poniżej modlitwy znajdowała się inskrypcja:
    Zakopane Palace, cela nr 3, ściana nr 3. Błażusiakówna Helena Wanda, lat 18, siedzi od 25 września 44".
    [Helena Błażusiak nikogo nie zdradziwszy przeżyła tortury, a także udało jej się zbiec z transportu do hitlerowskiego obozu koncentracyjnego. Zmarła w 1999 r.].
    Część III:
    "Kajze mi sie podzioł
    moj synocek miły?
    Pewnie go w powstaniu
    złe wrogi zabiły.
    Wy niedobrzy ludzie,
    dla Boga świętego
    cemuście zabili
    synocka mojego?
    Żodnej ja podpory
    juz nie byde miała,
    choćbych moje stare
    ocy wypłakała.
    Choćby z mych łez gorzkich
    drugo Odra była,
    jesce by synocka
    mi nie łozywiła.
    Lezy on tam w grobie,
    a jo nie wiem kandy
    choć sie opytuje
    między ludźmi wsandy.
    Moze nieborocek
    lezy kay w dołecku,
    a mogłby se lygać
    na swoim przypiecku.
    Ej, ćwierkajcie mu tam,
    wy ptosecki boze,
    kiedy mamulicka
    znaleźć go nie moze.
    A ty, boze kwiecie,
    kwitnijze w około,
    niech sie synockowi
    choć lezy wesoło".
