Loving Saints


What, Lord, do You find in them that You love?
They have great faith and great humility,
the Little Flower throws roses from above,
St. Theresa’s Little Way fits little me.

St. Padre Pio had the Stigmata true,
his faith gave him the courage to stand the pain,
he bi-located, read their souls, and flew,
he’d pray and then Your miracles would rain.  

Blest Pierre Toussaint lived two centuries ago,
this ex-slave helped the New York poor with care,
from daily Mass with wife and kids in tow,
he birthed the city’s welfare system there.

Courage, strong faith, humility and prayer,
but for our little grace we would be there.
