Day 12 of #100daysofchant

This one is new to me. See if you can hear my hesitation.

Vado ad eum qui misit me: sed quia haec locutus sum vobis, tristitia implevit cor vestrum, alleluia.

I go to him who sent me, but because I said this to you, sorrow has filled your heart, alleluia.

I love the juxtaposition of sorrowful hearts and Alleluia! There's a De Profundis - Out of the depths I have cried to Thee O Lord, Alleluia - I think towards the end of the liturgical year.
