I want to be available to Him.

It is kind of you to write to me. Yes, Father, the Lenten season is almost over – Jesus' suffering passed by without even touching my soul. My meditation, like everything else, is so meaningless. Day after day I repeat the same thing – perhaps only with my lips – "Make me feel what You felt. Make me share Your pain with You." I want to be available to Him.

letter to Father Neuner, April 11, 1963)
