She called to wish me a happy feast. She dwelled at length on how sorry she was for her absence from the prayers of the Holy Week. Her voice was bleeding with grief. The most beautiful people are those who refuse to dwell away from the prayer of their Church! Then, she proceeded as if she was confessing: “you know the gravity of my health status. My world has become a home. I have fought in order to break this captivity before the feast. My destiny was to resemble the disciples who, on the day Jesus was arrested, all of them abandoned Him, and ran away”! O my God, this is not the eloquence of terrified people! Since a long time ago, I have been seized by a conviction that those who would sell everything in order to come to the prayers of the Holy Week, should an obstacle prevent them, the prayers would not leave them, but rather the prayers themselves would come to them! This is a great joy that Jesus keeps seeking us by reminding us that He still walks in on His disciples through locked doors!
