they would cry out to You:
“Kyrie eleisson, Kyrie eleisson,”
and You in Your turn will tell them:
“because you have embraced Me,
My ray of Light now shines
in the centre of your heart;”
now I can clearly say:
“I need not be afraid
of the gravedigger any more,
I need not call the tomb I laid in:
‘my bridegroom’ and to the worm:
‘my brother and sister;’
today I praise my Lord and call Life:
‘my Bridegroom;
my Brother and my Sister;’
and now that I have found Him
whom my heart loves
I will hold Him fast,
nor will I ever let Him go;
now that I seized my Love,
now that I possess Him
I will pull away His veil
from His Holy Face;”
O fearful mystery! Your Majesty
has anointed me with oil of gladness
hushing down my rivals;

and have You well rooted
in the centre of my heart...

My myrrh and aloes, lean on My Heart,
repose your head on Me

who asked you once to give Me your
right hand and so you did; I used it and
still will use it in an ineffable manner to
write Our Theme of Love; open your
hand;

I shall never abandon you...
ever... be blessed; ecclesia shall revive;

The Call...

In a lordly style He called me.

As once before, Jesus’ beautiful Head leaned over
and kissed the interior of my right hand; then with a
sign squeezed it on His Cheek, then gently drew it
down once more.
