The service concludes with the singing of a much loved Maronite Hymn - Wa Habeebee, the English translation is:

O My Son
O My Son O My beloved
See the plight Love brings you to
What distress and What affliction
Wicked men have Laid on you.
O My Son O what transgression
Oh what evil Did you do that you
Should be vexed and wounded
with no hope for any cure

Look on me Daughter of Sion
Crushed beneath this might wave
Anguish fills my very marrow
And it leads me to the grave
There is none to be a friend now
And this angry mob to brave
Coming forward to console me
For the suff'ring I endure

The above devotion has been hand transcribed. Any errors or omissions, are mine.

A few years ago, I attended Stations of the Cross every Friday during Lent. But lately every church we go to, the Lenten Stations are getting hard to participate in. They all let some "group" sponsor it, and they can do whatever they want it seems. Music, poems, I'm waiting for interpretive dance next....
