Ponderables from the Poverello

How glorious, how holy and wonderful it is to have a Father in heaven. How holy it is, how beautiful and lovable to have in heaven a Bridegroom. How holy and beloved, how pleasing and lowly, how peaceful, delightful, lovable and desireable above all things it is to have a Brother like this, who laid down his life for his sheep (cf. Jn 10:15), and prayed to his Father for us.
