“Lord,

when Your words came to me, I devoured them:

Your word is my delight

and the joy of my heart;

for I was called by Your Name,

Yahweh, God Almighty”[218]

I had my eyes veiled and I did not see You

nor Your Splendour nor Your Glory.

Suddenly, in the deepest depths of my obscurity, a Light shone!

Stupefied and stunned by Its brightness, I staggered,

and the spirit of lethargy encamping my soul,

overwhelmed by Your Spirit,

ceased breathing in me.

I saw You standing there, silent ....

and it was as if I knew You, Beloved.

Then, You opened Your Lips, a Name was given me,

and instantly the memory of my soul was restored;

the veil from my eyes dropped

and I found my soul succumbing into my Father’s Arms;

O God! How Precious You are to me!

I am Holy;

I said: I shall cleanse you and give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I shall remove the spirit of lethargy from your soul and put My Spirit in you; on that day I swore to make you Mine; I swore to heal you and like a tree, bear fruit for My people; I swore to fill the starved and every mouth; yes! I swore to come to you, and turn to you to till you and sow in your Nothingness, My Glory;

and now I, God, encamped your soul forever; so prophesy without fear; go to the dry bones and I will give them flesh, I will give them breath to praise Me and glorify Me; yes, I will breathe on the dead so that they live and shout: “who is like unto God?” I will remind them that greater love than their Creator’s they shall not find;
