The shiny shoes of the Fisherman.Simon Peter saith to them: I go a fishing to Germany.
(cf. Jn. 21:3)
The old, gnarled face of our Helmsman at 84.
Thou art Peter.A Helmsman's tears are concealed by the sea spray.
But he is not alone,
he shares in our time
the sorrows of the Sacred Heart.
Christ through Benedict steers the Ark of Salvation.
Pray for the Helmsman,
hold on for your life,
and thank God that
we who are with him
are in the only unsinkable ship on this wild sea.
And I say to thee: That thou art Peter;
and upon this rock I will build my church,
and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
(Mt. 16:18)
