Take Joy!
There is nothing I can give you,
which you have not;
But there is much, very much, that
while I cannot give it, you can take.
No heaven can come to us unless our hearts
find rest in today.
Take heaven!
No peace lies in the future which is not hidden
in this present instant.
Take peace!
The gloom of the world is but a shadow.
Behind it, yet within reach, is joy
.
. . .
And so, at this time, I greet you.
Fra Giovanni 1513 A.D
