Bnzhirutinn I T is written that man should love another as himself, That love becomes a unity and lifts the cross of peace Above the world, And that as Christ loved the sinner So should we love each other, but hate the sin. And loving thus all things in Christ, live in Him. WE are weak, But like sheep dotting the green hill slopes of our tiny world lVe heard the sound of sturdy feet, A shepherd's shoeg We saw a staff in strong brown hands Your hands, dear Father, Stained red with love that men might live ln peace. And so we follow you like sheep be- hind the Master Strong with a love that will lift the cross Far above the battle-field of broken bodies, Grasping hands and dictators dreams, Bringing the "peace of Christ in the reign of Christ" To this broken world, through you, Christ's Vicar on earth. And thus, to you, dear Holy Father, Standard Bearer of Peace, Who has taught us how to live in. Christ, W e dedicate this book. 9
