Homage to Jesus Christ, the penultimate Nabí

"O my Jesus; praise, laudation, and honor, be unto Thee; for Thou hast--by the grievous affliction of Thy Passion--purchased for humankind freedom from the required retribution of our evil deeds. Thank you, that I am now under the law of Grace, such that my compensation for the ills I have caused may not be grievous, but rather that my works may be done in all devotion and gladness of spirit.

Open Thou the spiritual eyes of the peoples of the earth, that they may perceive the Divine Kingdom, which is spread out before them. Thou art He in whose hands lie the destinies of all things. Therefore, manifest Thy mercy and pardon unto us, and judge us not according to Thy justice and wrath which would fill our hearts with terror."

Collected Quotations.

"A man can receive no greater gift than this, that he rejoice another's heart"
