O Jesus, my love,
how much you have loved me,
how much you have loved me.
O Jesus, my love…
O Jesus, you have received sins from me,
so that I receive forgiveness from you.
O Jesus, my love…
You have received the thorns of pride from me,
so that I receive humility from you.
O Jesus, my love…
You have received the lashes of lust from me,
so that I receive love and purity from you.
O Jesus, my love…
You have been stripped by me,
so that I receive freedom from riches from you.
O Jesus, my love…
You have received gall and vinegar from me,
so that I receive sweetness from you.
You have received insults and mockery from me,
so that I receive meekness from you
You have received the nails from me,
so that I receive obedience from you
O Jesus, my love…
You have received the cross from me,
so that I receive salvation from you.
O Jesus, my love…
You have received death from me,
so that I receive life from you.
O Jesus, my love…
You have received the tomb from me,
so that I receive resurrection from you.
O Jesus, my love…
From me, O Lord, you have received death and sin,
so that I receive from you, all of yourself,
to me, to me, you gave yourself.
O Jesus, my love…

Brothers! Let us give no one occasion to stumble.
Brothers, always accepting tribulations,
necessities, distress and toil;
with patience, purity and kindness,
in the Holy Spirit and in the power of God.
Using the weapons of justice,
those of the right hand and those of the left,
in glory and ignominy,
in calumny and in good repute,
Taken for impostors and yet true,
as having nothing and yet possessing everything.
Brothers! Let us give no one occasion to stumble.
Brothers, always accepting tribulations!
Brothers! I speak to you with frankness,
I speak to you in all truth:
do not harness yourselves in an uneven yoke with pagans.
What accord is there between believer and unbeliever?
What union between the sanctuary of God and that of idols?
For we are the sanctuary of God.
