Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Rey Del Universo
Digno es el Cordero que fue inmolado, de recibir el poder, la riqueza, la sabiduría, la fuerza y el honor. A él la gloria y el imperio por los siglos de los siglos. Apártense De Mi *Porque tuve hambre...y ustedes pusieron los alimentos fuera del alcance de mi presupuesto; *porque no sabía leer, y nadie se preocupó por enseñarme; *porque yo necesitaba un empleo, pero ustedes prefirieron un aumento en las ganancias; *porque estuve enfermo, pero ustedes cobraban mucho por consulta; *porque yo tenía la razón, pero ustedes se la dieron al que tenía dinero e influencias; *porque fui encarcelado siendo inocente, y ustedes no me hicieron justicia; *porque yo era débil e ingenuo, y ustedes se aprovecharon de mí, como si yo fuera un simple objeto. “Cuando lo hicieron con el más insignificante de mis hermanos, conmigo lo hicieron”.
Jesucristo, Rey del universo
