In the end…

Lord
In the end, you will silently listen to my whole life
this lifelong monologue of a wretch in distressing solitude
so that you may then speak your word of eternal life
thus concluding the history of the soul.

So that by that word
you may speak into the heart of man Yourself.

(P. Benedikt Holota OFM /* 1922/, notes, February 1983)
