…one of your children in Our Lord who arrived laden with alms, greatly mitigated the excess of our misfortunes and revived our hope in the mercy of the good God.

Goodness teaches you with gentleness, compassion, and love; for they are your masters, and mine as well.

…cured by the grace of God. Or rather, let’s say that they’re dead persons who have come back to life.

We only hope that God will show us His mercy and restore to us what was taken away by His justice.

Let us pray to the divine goodness for one another that His mercy may pour out on us His blessings of grace and light so that we may glorify Him eternally.

You are a man and, consequently, a sinner.

Since I am a great sinner, I cannot reject those who have been, provided they have good will.

We have good reason to praise God who softens by His mercy the lashes which His justice inflicts upon us.

I unite my heart to yours so that together we may obtain the mercy of which we stand in need.

Although I am filled with powerlessness and reasons for humiliation on account of my sins, I trust in Your mercy.
