"O Lord forgive me, I am afraid to see your face, because I am sure that if I do so,
I shall not be able to escape any more, but I shall have to drink the chalice.
Since you will appear to me crowned with thorns and full of blood, nailed to the cross and
I will be taken back by this demanding and faithful love,
I won't be able to escape from my sorrow without blushing as if it were a defection."
P. Lyonnet, Preghiere per il tempo della malattia |
