It is the middle of the night, for the moon, no longer full and receding in its beauty, is shining to light the sky with your holy love, in which you say, I am present.

‘I thank you for calling me here to the outer balcony of our home, where we can see and give you witness to the beauty of your presence in all things. Why did you call me here?’

“My son, to free your soul in prayer, in the beauty of this night, that you may speak to my heart and I shall hold you ever so dearly more closely to me.

Yes, my son.”

‘Take me as you desire, my Lord, for I love you and it is good to be here with you. My heart has needed you, even if it has only been a day. I shall proclaim that I need you each moment of my life.’
