The blood of The Lamb of God,
and of those who have died with him;
has covered The Earth and renewed it.

In blood, in clean blood,
blood of him who was slain;
and yet lives,
and in blood of those with him,
is life and purification for sin.

This is the meaning of Faustina,
but one must gaze, and gaze in sorrow;
if you do not gaze with your heart,
it is like standing before Maria,
and saying, "guide The Church,"
as an empty voice of honor.

As I stand before you, Maria,
note that I have loved you;
as I stand before your image,
remember, Maria, that I loved you;
guide, Maria, my twelve to Heaven.

These be whom I serve,
though I serve multitudes;
I make no claim or promise,
but these, O God,
enslave me under them.

That the word of God, The Word,
as he washed the feet;
be forever, Father, expressed in me.

Not a soul more than fifteen,
the age of Maria's virginity.
