Ignem Veni Mitteri in Terram.

I have come to bring fire to the earth.
They came to slaughter the lamb.
What then is our pride worth.

Have a look at Alberto’s work.
The martyr’s painting in the English College.
Here we see St Edmund put death by dirk.
Such courage we can only acknowledge.

When a martyr was announced.
The students sang below the picture.
Thus their voice was never silenced.
Their loyalty was to scripture.

So will we too set the world alight.
Or of our true destiny will we lose sight.

———-

Set the world alight
That is our true destiny
Just have the courage
