O patron of moral theologians
and servant of the poor,
how blessed was your loving wisdom,
your understanding of God
and His love for us,
made perfectly known
in His only Son
whom you loved so much
with His Mother and the Church,
and whom you call us all to love
through your blessed words –
pray the redeeming love
of Jesus our Savior
flow in all our veins,
that we might unite our wills
to the Father’s
as perfectly as His only Son
and so be as encompassed by grace and love
as only He could be.
Pray indeed that we shall be saved,
that we will come to the Lord on our knees
and so find His presence filling us
unto eternity.
