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.
