Our Resurrection!
Incomprehensible and eternal Trinity!
Open my soul to the strength, Redeemer, our Resurrection!
O Light, which you send us Light, so that we may see in your Light!
Right in this Light I see: without it I would be blind,
for you are He who Is,
and I am the one who is not.
In your Light I recognize my poverty and the needs of the Church and the whole world.
And because I see so well in your Light,
I ask you,
to tear my soul apart for the salvation of the world.
(Catherine of Siena /1347–1380/,
excerpt from a prayer; April 1379)
