– This presence has helped me to last this Lent. Staying at the infirmary was for me the large Post, culminating in the wonderful Triduum – in the infirmary chapel, together with another sick people we read with a division into roles of the Lord's Passion, we enjoyed the large Saturday – The writer said.
– It happened that I left the infirmary on the day of the Resurrection at 2:00 p.m., due to the fact that the examination was inactive ongoing until the last moment. (...) After this long Lent, after this wonderful Triduum I revived, rapidly from that minute I began to recover – told.
