"Who are you and who am I?"

Leo answered: "Father, I heard you speaking, talking and with much wonder frequently praying: 'Who are you, my most dear God, and who am I, a worm and your little servant.' And then I saw a flame of fire descending from heaven and speaking with you. And I saw you replying to the voice many times and extending your hand to it three times, but what you said, I do not know."

"O Brother Little Lamb of Jesus Christ, two lights were opened for me in what you saw and heard: one, a knowledge of the Creator, and the other a knowledge of myself. When I said: 'Who are you, Lord my God, and who am I,' then I was in the light of contemplation in which I saw the abyss of infinite divine Goodness and the tearful depths of my own vileness. Therefore, I kept on saying: 'Who are you, O Lord, supremely wise and supremely good and supremely merciful, that you visit me who am utterly vile, an abominable and despised little worm.'


May we be lost in the question.

If I could only remember that my mouth, my lips, my words belong to Christ rather than me.
My mind and its thought, my body and its actions belong to Christ.
