O lover of the Church
for whom you offered your life,
defending the saving truths of the faith
against the evil tide
engulfing humanity,
proclaiming the Gospel of Christ
and the light of the Lord
to the ends of a desolate world
drowning in a thousand false notions
of love
as man makes himself God
and so knows only emptiness
inside –
pray that we will extricate ourselves
from the embrace
of the culture of death
and find a civilization of love;
pray especially the smoke of Satan
will be blown by the Spirit
from this House you love
that She may be evangelized anew
and come to contemplate
the glory of God.
