O Jesus, my love

O Jesus, my love,
how much you have loved me,
how much you have loved me.
O Jesus, my love…
O Jesus, you have received sins from me,
so that I receive forgiveness from you.
O Jesus, my love…
You have received the thorns of pride from me,
so that I receive humility from you.
O Jesus, my love…
You have received the lashes of lust from me,
so that I receive love and purity from you.
O Jesus, my love…
You have been stripped by me,
so that I receive freedom from riches from you.
O Jesus, my love…
You have received gall and vinegar from me,
so that I receive sweetness from you.
You have received insults and mockery from me,
so that I receive meekness from you
You have received the nails from me,
so that I receive obedience from you
O Jesus, my love…
You have received the cross from me,
so that I receive salvation from you.
O Jesus, my love…
You have received death from me,
so that I receive life from you.
O Jesus, my love…
You have received the tomb from me,
so that I receive resurrection from you.
O Jesus, my love…
From me, O Lord, you have received death and sin,
so that I receive from you, all of yourself,
to me, to me, you gave yourself.
O Jesus, my love…

Paschal Homily of Melito of Sardis

You have covered death with shame,
you have thrown hell into mourning,
you have struck iniquity,
you have deprived injustice of her children,
as Moses did to Pharaoh,
as Moses did to Pharaoh.
You have brought us from slavery to freedom,
from darkness to light, from death to life.
You are the passover of our salvation,
you are the lamb born of Mary.
Mary, she-lamb without blemish,
Mary, the innocent she-lamb.
You have been slain in Abel,
you have been bound in Isaac,
sold in Joseph,
abandoned on the waters in Moses,
persecuted in David,
mocked and despised in all the prophets.
You are the lamb who does not open his mouth,
you are the lamb born of Mary.
Mary, she-lamb without blemish…
You were taken from the flock,
led to sacrifice,
slaughtered in the evening,
buried in the night,
your blessed body did not experience corruption.
You rose from death,
and made mankind rise
from the depths of the tomb.
You are the lamb who does not open his mouth,
you are the lamb born of Mary.
Mary, she-lamb without blemish…
