I pray for you...
That does not mean that from time to time
I pronounce certain words while thinking of you.
It means that I feel responsible of you in my flesh and
in my soul, that I carry you with me as a mother
carries her child;
That I wish to share,
I wish to draw entirely upon myself all the harm and
all the suffering that menaces you.
And I offer to God all my darkness
so that He may return it to you in the light.
