God of Jesus Christ. Deum meum et Deum vostrum. Oblivion of the world and of everything excepting God. He is found solely by the ways taught in the Gospel. Grandeur of the human soul. Just Father, the world does not know You, but I know You. Joy, Joy, Joy, tears of joy. This epiphany changed his life.

He did not have long for this work. At thirty-nine, he died from a brain hemorrhage.
