My thoughts were always a bit twisted
like all former drug addicts.
Above all, I was in deep sadness.
And it was during the Easter vigil, at the sign of peace,
that a disabled young man, with a broad smile,
came to give me the sign of peace. He really embraced me,
he took me in his arms
with a smile like this.
I started shedding tears of joy.
I also think that the *** Mary
at that moment, at the Grotto, made me understand
that I needed to escape from all my bad thoughts, my ideas and my intrigues,
to truly embrace faith with an open heart and a smile.
I cannot erase it, I cannot forget it
especially when I feel a little sad again. I think of this moment,
and often when I’m at the Grotto, I still remember this event, this image.
I have never met this young man, but
I thank Mary for sending me this guardian angel to really transmit,
I think, something of her smile.
