"Our time on earth is so short that

suffering is a waste of time"

IF YOU LOVE ME, DO NOT WEEP

 

If you love me, do not weep,
If you knew God’s gifts and what heaven is!
If you could hear the angel’s canticles and see me amongst them!
If you could only see before your eyes the horizons, the fields and the new paths
that I traverse!

If for an instant you could contemplate as I do
the beauty before which beauty pales!
How? … You have seen me; have loved me in the land of shadows
And you do not resign yourself to see me and love me
In the land of unchangeable realities?

Believe me.
When death comes to cut the ties as it has
Cut those that immobilized me,
When a day comes that God has set and knows,
And your soul comes to this heaven where mine has preceded yours,
You will see me again on that day,
You will feel that I continue loving you,
That I loved you, and you will find my heart
With all its purified tenderness.

You will see me again in transfiguration, in ecstasy, happy!
Not waiting for death anymore, but advancing with you, for
I will lead by the hand through new paths of Light … and of Life…
Wipe away your tears and do not weep if you love me!


(St. Augustine)
