Priests' Blood

PRIESTS'

BLOOD

"We would sign the Credo with our own blood."(Fr. Franz Schmidberger, 18. Sept. 2012) 

Many a Convent

Where good sisters pray

Because of vocations

The True Mass each day 

Many a school

Which we pay for in tears

But a Catholic culture

Allays all our fears 

Retreats, Seminaries

For souls to discern

To hear Jesus call

"Come, it's your turn." 

And then there's those prelates

Who stop and deter

Yet worse our own kind

Who ignore and defer 

Preserving not

The Whole Truth inherited

Believing the liars

Who assert they've not merited 

As souls still drown

In their waterless flood

I stick with the Credo

Signed in Priests' blood!
