XXXIV
LOOM

Your cross is the loom which weaves
the cloth of human sorrows, woven
by the divine plan with the history
of our poor people who are governed by
the trials and tribulations of destiny.
And this human cloth is the idea
of Ideas, of the divine Word,
the revelation of God who knows Himself
through letting Himself be known. The thought
of God is our history that is woven
by the loom of your cross, oh Christ!;
and through this process, the infinite
variations of life, with the woolen
yarn from the bobbin—the soul—we knit
the limitless cloth of your mantle.
