Lucifer's Evolution: Prince Of This World

   
   "Lucifer's Evolution:  Prince Of This World"
   
Your father is the father of lies
Did the Living Christ wisely surmise--
He crafts murder, trickery, and all the iniquitous unrest,
Fooling us into losing sublime compassion and impersonating the rest.
Tempted in the desert with fame and wealth,
Yet the Living Christ, not of this world--denied ALL with mystic stealth,
Reminding us of the Holy Spirit and how it is like unto a Tower of Shimmering Ivory,
Being obedient even unto death, inheriting a perpetual satisfactory.

My 9th grade, Catholic-school French is not good; nevertheless, to all the Priests and Brothers who schooled me, never hurting me--here is a prayer for the French--an invocation to Notre Dame:

Sainte Marie, Mere de Dieu
Priez pour nous, pauvres pecheurs
Maintenant, et a l'heure de notre mort.

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
