Entitled "Comforter of the weak", this poem by Sister Gandhi Nsonsa asks the reader to contemplate the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This Heart offers refuge to the desperate and help to the weak; this Heart is full of mercy and provides the poor with bread and peace.
Sacred Heart of Jesus
You who lift up the fallen man
In You, the refuge of sinners
An infinite source of happiness
Dispenser of all good on Earth
To our world saddened by wars
Give us the peace earned at the Cross
And may Your grace illuminate our choices
An inexhaustible source of life-giving water
For humanity at its worst
Pour out Your infinite mercy
Let harmony reign everywhere
Comforter of the weak
By Your unfathomable goodness
Giving bread to the poor
So that all may find something to live on
Thus to Your glory will the universe sing
Under the reflection of the Spirit of light
We shall contemplate the love of the Father
Oh Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ
