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.
