Because her Heart was so completely emptied as to be so completely filled and to so completely give, she is both Virgin of the Poor and Mother of Charity. If poverty and charity go together, then she whose poverty of spirit knew such depths must possess a heart carved by that poverty whose depth of love remains unsoundable to us. In her poverty she is Mother of Charity, that abyss of poverty becoming an abyss and font of love.
Nella sua povertà, Lei è Madre di Carità, quell’abisso di povertà che diventa abisso e fonte d’amore.
