An Italian missionary priest that I correspond with, closes his letters with "Come Jesu, anch'io ti amo fino a morire."
When the opportunity arose, I asked Vinnie, who speaks Italian, what the closing said. Vinnie said, "I would love to see you dead, like Jesus!"
!!!!!!! What!
But that doesn't make sense. I tried Babel Fish and got, "Like Jesus, it is said, I would love to see you dead."
This was mixed up but sounded like Vinnie's translation.
Finally, I asked Father what his closing meant.
I will love you until my death, like Jesus loved us.
WOW How wonderful! What an awesome way to end a letter. I am blessed to have such a friend.
