At Gethsemane
You transcended time and space,
my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ
- God's Own Sacrificial Lamb -
and in Your agony
You surveyed the massive, glorious army
of future saints
of every nation
of every generation,
whose great sanctity
was made possible
only through the Infinite Merits
of Your Passion; of Your Cross,
and in this You were
somewhat strengthened and consoled.
With boldness and hope,
with humility and holy fear,
I place myself
in this transcendent survey of Yours, my Lord,
not as one of Your great Saints
but as a little child
of Your Immaculate Mother
who would kneel beside her
before You
at Golgotha,
in the company of the beloved Apostle John
and the holy women,
so that I might somewhat strengthen and console
Your Mother and mine,
for she is Your greatest consoler,
and to join with the Mother
with the great Patriarch Saint Joseph,
with the exquisite Archangel,
Raphael, Michael and Gabriel,
and with all the Angels, Saints and Holy Souls,
in their universal declaration:
we recognise You;
we acknowledge You;
we appreciate You,
Son of God;
Son of Man.;
You for Whom only were we created.
