01:29Everyone has left, only they remain.
01:33At that moment, Joseph of Arimathea arrived, who had gone to Pilate to ask for the body.
01:39He arrives with a group of friends, a ladder, and a hammer.
01:44They lean the ladder against the post of Jesus' cross,
01:47And one of them climbs up it and begins to hammer at the nails that hold the binding of the torture that supports the arms of the crucified man.
01:57The blow of the hammer, once again shattering Maria's heart and ears,
02:09while Joseph and some others begin to remove the heavy wood from Jesus' cross.
02:14Little by little, the nails give way, and the lifeless body of Jesus begins to descend from the cross.
02:24Below, Mary Magdalene and John receiving the body of Christ.
02:29Mary never stops seeing her beloved Son.
02:35Finally, they place him on the floor on a white sheet that Joseph of Arimathea has brought.
02:42Maria, with a mother's tenderness, that tenderness that only mothers have,
02:48She approaches, still incredulous at what she is seeing, the lifeless body of her Jesus.
02:56My little boy, my little one.
03:00He bends down and puts his head on his chest as if still searching for some trace of life.
03:08But nothing.
03:10Life.
03:12Life has slipped away.
03:14How paradoxical, Maria thinks.
03:19He.
03:20Life, now without life.
03:26She has no tears left to cry.
03:30She is serene.
03:33He hugs her.
03:35And he holds it close to him.
03:39So many years ago she had held it close to her chest.
03:42He had fed him there.
03:46She had nourished life with her own life.
03:50And now she embraces the lifeless body of her Son.
03:55Nobody moves.
03:58It is a solemn moment.
04:01It would seem that the universe itself at this moment has stopped without a breath.
04:07Lifeless.
04:08Mary kisses Jesus and puts her face against his.
04:18"Come on, Maria," Juan says.
04:21We need to prepare it.
04:25Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea had brought some spices to anoint Jesus,
04:30according to Jewish custom.
04:32Mary Magdalene also approaches the lifeless body of Jesus.
04:38And with the tenderness and love of one who loves,
04:41He begins to wash the wounds on the broken body of the one who had only given love to men.
04:47While Mary praises and places a story on the wounds of Jesus,
04:54His thoughts sink into his memories.
04:58Close your eyes and remember all the times Jesus preached.
05:05So many men and women received love, health, and joy from him.
05:12Night begins to fall and together they take the body of Christ and carry it to a small cave that was nearby.
05:25It is a tomb carved into the rock where no one had ever been laid before.
05:30They place it very carefully and roll a large rock.
05:37As they are rolling it, Maria asks them to stop for a minute,
05:42as if he wanted to stop time at that moment,
05:46as if she wanted to be buried with him at that moment.
05:50Juan, who is beside her, tenderly takes her by the shoulders
05:59and draws her towards him while saying
06:02Come on, Maria, we have to go back home.
06:09Slowly the stone closes the tomb of Jesus.
06:12Slowly, the small group of friends and Maria begin their descent from the mountain.
06:22To descend from the place of the tomb,
06:25It is necessary to pass again through the place where they had been crucified.
06:31As you pass by, there are the three masts pointing to the sky
06:35as testimony to injustice,
06:39as a testament to love.
06:42Maria stops in front of the masts
06:45and he thought he could still hear the hammers hitting the nails
06:49and the cries of pain from his son
06:52when they pierce their precious hands and feet.
06:56He thought he could still hear the screams,
07:00the insults, the blasphemies.
07:03"Let him die!" they shouted, "Let him die!"
07:06If you are the child of God,
07:09Save yourself and come down from the cross.
07:12How can she erase all those screams that still echo in her mother's heart?
07:19Maria remains motionless at the edge of the small path that descends towards Jerusalem.
07:27He cannot take his eyes off that empty mast where the traces of blood are still visible.
07:38Maria lets go of Juan's arm
07:40He approaches the mast where his son was hanging and hugs him.
07:46She clings to the blood that still bears witness to her son's love for us.
07:54My little son, my beloved.
07:56The word seemed to strike at his heart and mind.
08:03Because?
08:05Why you?
08:07Why is that?
08:08I would like to hate, I would like to rebel at that moment,
08:16But his heart is filled with the peace of God.
08:20Because when hatred tried to enter and penetrate his very being,
08:25He couldn't.
08:26because he found that he was already filled with God's love and peace.
08:30Juan is approaching again
08:34And embracing her tenderly, he says
08:37Come on Maria,
08:41Let's go back home.
08:44Maria touches that piece of wood for the last time
08:47and begins to descend the small hill
08:50and she heads down the road that will take her back to Bethany.
08:56In the midst of the shadows that begin to color the afternoon
08:59with an intense golden color,
09:02This small group of men and women can be seen walking.
09:06who deeply loved Jesus
09:09that descend the slope of Golgotha.
09:13When they had almost reached the end of the path,
09:17Juan turns around
09:18And seeing the three tree trunks that stand tall at the top,
09:23He can't take it anymore; he falls to the ground bathed in tears.
09:26and between sobs she murmurs
09:29It just can't be,
09:32He can't be dead.
09:35Because?
09:36Because?
09:40Maria bends down
09:41and hugs him like a mother would hug her child.
09:45It was for love, Juan.
09:50It was because of you
09:50And as for me,
09:53for all of us.
09:56He had already told us,
09:58Do you remember?
09:59Thank you!
10:00Thank you!
10:01Thank you!
