On the contrary, we are told that even "the people who came together to that sight, smote their breasts and returned ." If these were the feelings of the people, what were St. John's feelings, or St. Mary Magdalene's, or St. Mary's, our Lord's blessed mother?
Mary Magdalene's, or next to none, just enough to pay the caretaker; but I must not complain of that, for it is the accident to which I owe my church, nobody else wanting it under the circumstances. I had begun to think my time in the monastery wasted, but God knew better. It will help me to live the life of poverty, of purity, of freedom from the world. "Love to the grandfather and the ladies.

It contained a caricature of the Crucifixion, the scroll emanating from Mary Magdalene's mouth, in particular, containing obscenities which cannot be quoted here. Robert thrust it into his pocket and strode on, every nerve quivering. 'This is Wednesday in Passion week, he said to himself. 'The day after to-morrow is Good Friday!
