and new depth of feeling
I also hoped
and begged for this
that it finally be given me
to be the servant
and minister of Christ the consoler,
the minister of Christ the helper,
the minister of Christ the redeemer,
the minister of Christ the healer,
the liberator, the enricher, the strengthener.
Thus it would happen that even I might be able through him
to help many to console, liberate, and give them courage;
to bring to them light not only for their spirit
but also ...... for their bodies,
and bring as well other helps to the soul and body
of each and every one of my neighbours whomsoever.
Pierre Favre, SJ
