Enregistrée par Pierre Bellemare dans la Cathédrale de Périgueux. "La Passion", de Charles Péguy, est extraite du "Mystère de la charité de Jeanne d'Arc". La Passion est l'acte physique le plus métaphysique de la Bible, sur lequel repose toute la culture des sociétés de l'Occident chrétien, fondée en partie sur l'idée de culpabilité héritée de ce martyre.
Le texte de Charles Péguy met en scène une réflexion lyrique tout à fait opposée à la pensée Saint-Sulpicienne, qui ne s'empare pas de la dimension humaine des événements bibliques.

El humor se convierte en el arma que se defiende de la opresión, la injusticia, y la violencia. El gran solitario de Palacio es una obra sobre México, y sin embargo tiene algo del efecto globalizador que caracterizó al Boom latinoamericano: escrita en México, París, y Madrid, se publicó por primera vez en 1971 en Argentina; y de alguna manera representa una realidad que se ha repetido una y otra vez en la historia de Latinoamérica.

In the final hours of the battle, just as the Romans were about to breach the walls of the city, the defenders gathered together and committed mass suicide, rather than being killed or taken captive by the Romans.
