Anima nostra sicut passer erepta est de laqueo venantium,
laqueus contritus est et nos liberati sumus.
(Ps 123,7)

Our soul is like a sparrow that has escaped from the fowler's snare; the snare is broken and we are free.

Como las aves, hemos escapado de la trampa del cazador; la trampa se rompió, y nosotros escapamos

Notre âme s'est échappée comme l'oiseau du filet des oiseleurs; Le filet s'est rompu, et nous nous sommes échappés.
