Lord, give me all who are lonely

Mar 10, 2018

Mentre ci avviciniamo al 10° anniversario della scomparsa di Chiara Lubich (14 marzo 2008), proponiamo un suo breve testo degli anni ‘50 nel quale traspare la passione per tutte le creature che soffrono.

  Lord, give me all who are lonely … I have felt in my heart the passion that fills your heart for all the forsakenness in which the whole world is drifting. I love every being that is sick and alone. Even the suffering of plants causes me pain … even the animals that are alone. Who consoles their weeping? Who mourns their slow death? Who presses to their own heart, the heart in despair? My God, let me be in this world the tangible sacrament of your Love, of your being Love; let me be your arms that press to themselves and consume in love all the loneliness of the world.   Chiara Lubich – Essential Writings” New City Press, New York, 2007 p. 81
