Saturday, April 13 : Saint Gertrude of Helfta

Who is like you, my Lord Jesus Christ, my dulcet love, exalted and measureless, you who look upon the humble? Who is like you in strength, Lord, you who choose the weak of this world? Who is like you who founded heaven and earth…, you who will your delight to be with the children of humankind? How great you are, King of kings and Lord of Lords, who rule the stars and set your heart on humankind. What are you like in whose right hand are riches and g1ory?… O love, how low do you bend your majesty? Ah! O love, where do you lead the fountain of wisdom? Surely to the very abyss of misery… «Come! Come! Come!»: I come, I come, I come to you, most loving Jesus, whom I have loved, whom I have sought, whom I have desired. Because of your gentleness, loving-kindness, and charity, loving you with all my heart, all my soul, and all my virtue, I follow you who call me.
