Beaten and Shot

 

To Blessed Stanley Rother, Padre Francisco, Padre Apla’s – a petition

 

Missionaries and martyrs, pray for us

That we may still our anger and intemperance

And listen not to the voices of hate

But rather to the small still voice 1 of love

 

Missionaries and martyrs, pray for us

That we may think before we write in blood

And resolve our differences through God’s peace

With prayer, understanding, and fellowship

 

Missionaries and martyrs, pray for us

That we never state a thesis as death

 

Blessed Stanley Rother – thank you

 

 

1 1 Kings 19:12
