Now I realize that I am not just one among billions! I am the object of Your love and personal care! My sin cast me on the road, like a discarded trash! No one to look at me or ask about me! No one to carry me out of the mud of the road and away of its risks! You passed by me and looked at me with Your divine eyes! I felt the warmth of love, I heard You whispering in my ears: “Your time is the time of love.” You carried me on Your divine arms; You cleansed me in the water of Baptism; You anointed me with the oil of Mayron; You became my garment, in which I hide! You became my food and my drink! my wealth and riches! My joy and the joy of my heart! You shone with Your splendor on me! Then my depths became exceedingly beautiful and glorified! You counted me as Your son; A holy bride for You, O King of Kings! You made me a queen; To sit in the heavenly places! You made me a member in Your Holy Body! And set me a second heaven for your joyful kingdom! Who can care for me as You do? Who else is for me on earth and in heaven? I yearn for You, O the Groom of my soul! Fr Tadros Malaty
