“Paul didn’t just say that you may not be saddened, but that you may not be saddened as the

“He joyously shouts, ‘It is finished!’ [John 19:30]. Yes, those seem to be sorrowful words, but
they were words of joy to that soul aflame and consumed in the fire of divine charity, the soul of

fulfilled what was written of me. Fulfilled too is my painful desire to redeem the human race. I
am happy, exultant, that I have finished this suffering.’”
