“Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” (Matt. XXII, 30)
Victory you want?
Love your enemies;
Your dignity is preserved.
Love as God’s children:
Victory achieved.
Speak out now if you must,
Repent of your excesses;
In the end it’s Love we trust.
A win over self
Attracts hardened foes.
Your ardent goodness,
Attracts and converts.
A loving credence;
My prayers now rise with ease
And many sins are avoided:
Lord do with me as you please!
