And thou, most kind and gentle death,
Waiting to hush our latest breath;
O Praise Him-Alleluia!
Thou leadest home the child of God
And Christ our Lord the way hath trod.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to
console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is
in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Saint Francis
