O humble and joyful Shepherdof loving Mother Church
who desired so
to bring her balm of mercy
to a confused and bitter world,
that it might become more fully human
by imbibing of the fountain
of her life-giving doctrine
and so discover the love and peace
it so desperately seeks
in vain ideologies
that pass like mist
in the light of the Lord Jesus Christ –
pray we all find our dignity
in Christ and in the Church
He founded for our salvation;
pray the eternal Truth
She teaches in His Name
will not be obscured by Satan’s wiles
but take root in the soil of Christian love
and be welcomed by all souls
who desire to possess a smile of joy
in the presence of God.
