Quotes by Alejandro Sawa (?)

“Pido a Dios, si lo hay, tres cosas; y si no quisiera concederme sino una, le pediría Fe. Fe, aunque me obligaran a vivir en un estercolero; Fe, aunque los gusanos destruyeran mi cuerpo en vida; Fe, aunque los hombres me escupieran en la cara al encontrarme por la calle; Fe, aunque mi cuerpo fuera patria de la enfermedad y mi alma corte de la idiotez; Fe, Fe, Fe. Fe en Dios; Fe en su justicia infinita; Fe en la tierra y en el cielo.”
― Alejandro Sawa, Iluminaciones en la sombra
