THE LIGHT WILL NOT FADE

WHEN UPON THE CHURCH A DARK CLOUD STARTS TO SETTLE,

THEY WILL JUDGE EVERY ROSE, NOT JUST THE FALLEN PETAL.

THE THORNS THAT EACH ROSE IN THIS LIFETIME MUST BEAR

WILL BE SHARED WITH MY SON AND THE CROWN HE DID WEAR.

THE DAMAGE, DEAR CHILDREN, WILL BE SO SEVERE

THAT NEW RIVERS WILL FLOW FROM THE MANY A TEAR.

YET EACH WOUNDED ROSE WITH YOUR TEARS GOD WILL NOURISH,

AND THEY WILL REVIVE AND ONCE AGAIN FLOURISH.

THE TIME OF THE DARKNESS WILL COME AND WILL PASS,

BUT MUCH BLOOD WILL BE SHED AS MY SON’S AT EACH MASS.

THE LIGHT, MY DEAR CHILDREN, WILL GROW DIM BUT NOT FADE

AND WILL CONTINUE TO GUIDE ALL THE FAITHFUL WHO PRAYED.

I WILL GATHER EACH ROSE AND FORM A BOUQUET

THAT WILL BE THE FOUNDATION WHICH WILL NEVER DECAY.

ALL THOSE WHO WERE FAITHFUL AND HAD BEEN CONTRITE

WILL BASK IN THE GLORY OF GOD’S DIVINE LIGHT.

YOU, MY DEAR CHILDREN, WILL BE LED BY EACH ROSE

THAT MY ADVERSARY HAD TRIED SO HARD TO DEPOSE.

YOU WILL BE THE REMNANT THAT WILL HELP TO REBUILD

THE NEW CHURCH THAT WILL BE WITH GOD’S CHILDREN FILLED.
