But whoever refuses to believe is condemned already.

We will try to be loyal to the end.

Always, even unwittingly ready.

Today I went to Mass at the Strasbourg seminary.

They are filling up with young men.

All was calm at the seminary.

A sense of holiness with these men.

And then we had vespers.

The chant rising up.

In tuneful whispers

With no let up.

Are we always in our faith steady.

And for the end always ready.

……

Are we  then always

Steady and ready in faith

For the coming end

……
