This small word witnessing contains the whole of spirituality.

That is what is called ecstasy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;

and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

in front of the heart and bow the head slightly.

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;

where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.

and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
