KAROL PROCLAIMS THE MESSAGE OF HOLINESS

PART NINE

Holiness is a recipe for the third millennium
Such a message he stubbornly proclaimed
He advised us all to go deep
And he sailed himself without wasting time

In this sailing he met thousands
Of previously before unknown characters
He created a brand new catalog of saints
For the whole world and for Poles

He deepened our devotion to Mary
He gave to the world “Mysteries of Light”
Now the rosary with twenty mysteries
Jesus` holiness explains us more

JADWIGA

Refreshed the cult of Queen Jadwiga
A long unseen gesture
Beatification without long formulas
He picked up the relics and put them back in place

REJTAN

When he preached to us about the Decalogue
Did not miss any detail
Because who does not know the commandments
This one will not keep great rules

He left at the end of long pilgrimage
To us an illustration to the last two
Commandments of love which he discussed
On the day of Chyliński`s beatification

He said that Poland in that age
When the Saxon Kings ruled
Went into the sins of consumerism
Rafał opposed this

In this sense he became as a Rejtan
Who tore his clothes on yourself
And though he didn`t say “On my dead body”
Although, however, he wanted that Poles…

Live not only today
Basking in excessive pleasure
That they would see crowds of
Disadvantaged and poor around them

SALAWA

When the Pope talked about Salawa
In front of the door of St. Mary Church
He also warned Europe
That lived “as if there were no God”

THE SURGENTS

The process of the insurgents was quick
We have Saint Albert and Rafał
The world learned about the Polish fate
Romuald Traugutt is waiting for trial

LITHUANIAN

The first Lithuanian was registered
In the catalog of Saints at that time
This was Father Jerzy Matulewicz
Vilnius bishop benefactor of Marianie monks

THE MERCIFUL

Similarly quickly took place trial
Of Sister Faustyna`s and later Michał`s
He saw Sopoćko who stubbornly
Visited bishops, brochures distributed

The Pope did not forget these letters
He expressed it in his encyclical
“Dives in Misericordia”
He praised Father Michał for stubbornness

AFRICAN GESTURES

Beyzym`s trial also took place
In the Karol`s time it`s a gesture for Africa
He gave cloak to Kozłowiecki
Although he was a pensioner a long time

Madagascar has its Patron
This is about a young princess
Was also a Saint surely from Ethiopia
Her name Bakhita she died in Italy

SAINT INDIANS

The Pope also proclaimed a Saint Indian
During a trip to Canada
He proclaimed the Indian a Saint
In the city of Mexico, Juan Diego

A SAINT IN AUSTRALIA

He declared Blessed in Australia
The only one Saint on this continent
Everywhere he went he brought
To faithful such strange surprises

SAINT ALBANIAN

Karol tried to get a quick trial
Mother Teresa is a symbol of those times
She always did what he dreamed of
That faith would not be a pious jargon

Someone considers her a saint from India
And you can forget that she is Albanian
She grew in the capital of Macedonia
They also say about her:”From Kosovo”

Tiny, clever, determined
She came out the monastery of the Loreto Sisters
Her heart was tired when she looked
At people in Calcutta which were dying

On the way to school for rich children
She often passed by the abandoned
And her heart was torn to shreds
That nobody would give them a cup of water

He brought us such a Saint
Karol insisted that she come
From far Asia to the rich
Someone would think Vatican

There are Sisters in Rome every day
And even have four houses there
They work among the poor they remind
Us what face our church can have

The Pope was so devoted to missions
There can be no discussion about it
Teresa`s character left us
As a Will and he fell asleep
