When the avaricious in astonishment asked the very wealthy: “Who is He for Whom they distribute their wealth and become beggarly?” All of them replied, one and the same: “My Lord and my God!”

Some have seen Him and have said: “My Lord and my God!” Some have only heard Him and said: “My Lord and my God!” Some have only felt Him and said: “My Lord and my God!” Some have only observed Him in the fabric of events and in the destinies of peoples and said: “My Lord and my God!” Some have felt His presence in their lives and cried out:“My Lord and my God!” Some have recognized Him by some sign, on themselves or on others, and cried out: “My Lord and my God!” Still some have only heard about Him from others and believed and cried out: “My Lord and my God!” Truly, these last ones are the most blessed!

Let us also exclaim, with all our hearts, regardless of how we have come to recognize Him or how we have come to learn about Him: “My Lord and my God!”
