I say to myself, I will not mention His name, I will speak His name no more. But then, it becomes like a fire burning in my heart, imprisoned in my bones, I grow weary holding it in. I cannot endure it./Entonces dije, “No lo voy a mencionar, ni hablaré más en su Nombre.” Pero habia en mi corazón como un fuego abrasador, encerrado en mis huesos. Me esforzaba por contenerlo, pero no podía.—Jeremiah/Jeremias20:7-10
“(Lent) is about being willing to suffer for something worth suffering for, as Jesus did, without allowing ourselves to be destroyed by it,” Joan Chittister, O.S.B., wrote in a lent reflection. Today we continue with the first half of stanza 3 of Passion by Gertrud von Le Fort.
And your voice speaks:
I will read the secret of your sorrow, O tender one,
timid one, kin to my soul, beloved:
It is I who weep in the depths of you!
I have fashioned you for a thousand years and longer, I
blessed all your fathers and mothers with the cross.
You have cost me griefs and wounds, among thorns have I
released your hands from the world.
You have cost me solitude, you have cost me dark silence
through many generations…
