Three Men who want to Follow Jesus
«You are wrong. You have still two things there.»
«Which?»
«Remembrance and hatred. Remove them. Become really empty… and I will give you something new to put in there.»
«What?»
«Love.»
«Ah! Ah! You make me laugh.»
– John of Endor, prior to understanding who he was speaking with.

«I? Master, Lord! But do You know who I am? I am saying that for Your sake, not for mine…»

– Jesus asking a great favor of Johanna, who has hoped for this exact joy.
