 . . . but the soul that is greatly vexed, which goeth stooping and feeble, and the eyes that fail, and the hungry soul, will give thee praise and righteousness, O Lord. . . . O Lord our God, thou hast dealt with us after all thy goodness, and according to all that great mercy of thine . . .

---Baruch 2:18, 27 (Brenton's LXX translation)

I thank the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God,

that my multitude of sins are like the abuses

that Israel's ten sons inflicted upon their brother Joseph.

Although my sins should never have been given existence,

they, having been done to my deepest shame, enable me to

see the vistas of Christ my God and Savior's infinite Mercy;

not all of it, for it is vaster than souls can comprehend or

words have the ability to proclaim and declare,

but more than enough to assuage all of my existential despair.
