From now on we contemplate as if in a mirror, as if they were already present, the wonderful realities that the promises reserve for us and which, by faith, we wait to enjoy.

Fin d'ora contempliamo come in uno specchio, quasi fossero già presenti, le realtà meravigliose che le promesse ci riservano e che, per la fede, attendiamo di godere.
