Lord, even at this late, eleventh hour
Your Merciful Grace redirected me
with such gentle, yet so motivating, power,
to past truth I had swerved from; until presently.
Nor shall the heinous guile of another
incident of spiritual perfidy
(or of my own craven and sentimental fear)---
disrupt my pilgrimage with separation
again. I ask---without least hesitation---
Lord Jesus, of Your Mercy, keep me near
to You, and The Blessed Virgin Mary, Your Graceful Mother.
