THE END OF THE ROAD
I TAUGHT YOU, DEAR CHILDREN, ALL THAT I COULD TEACH,
BUT MY MESSAGE HAS STILL FAILED SO MANY TO REACH.
THERE IS SO LITTLE TIME THAT NOW DOES REMAIN;
PRAY THAT MY WORDS WERE NOT SPOKEN IN VAIN.
I HAVE BEGGED YOU, DEAR CHILDREN, THAT YOU CONSTANTLY PRAY,
YET THE WORDS ON YOUR LIPS ARE NOT THOSE YOU SHOULD SAY.
YOU ARE, MY DEAR CHILDREN, WITH YOUR LIFE TOO CONCERNED
AND WASTE ALL THE GRACES THAT COULD HAVE BEEN EARNED.
HOW MUCH CLOSER TO HEAVEN HAVE YOU GOTTEN TODAY
BY FULFILLING YOUR NEEDS BUT NEGLECTING TO PRAY?
HOW MANY ARE DAYS IN YOUR LIFE SUCH AS THESE
WHEN YOU THINK OF YOURSELF AND FORGOT GOD TO PLEASE?
IF YOU TRY TO SQUEEZE GOD IN BETWEEN ALL YOUR PLEASURES,
THEN HOW CAN YOU ASK GOD TO SHARE ALL HIS TREASURES?
DO NOT BE SURPRISED TO FIND YOUR OWN GIFT BOX EMPTY
IF YOU GAVE TO GOD NOTHING WHILE YOU GAVE YOURSELF PLENTY.
I STRESS ONCE AGAIN THAT THIS TIME IS NOW FLEETING,
AND THE WORDS I HAVE SPOKEN I WILL NOT BE REPEATING.
SOON, MY DEAR CHILDREN, YOU MAY NOT FIND THE WAY
FOR THE ROAD WILL SOON END FOR THOSE WHO FAILED TO PRAY.
“THY WILL BE DONE’
