Act I
The Saint remains silent,
so that The Enemy will not
aggressively grab any
of his unguarded words
and twist them into traps
in order to cruelly cripple him.
Act II
The Invader sends forth
his insidious spies,
trying to pressure The Saint
with the phantom of fear
and treacherously trick him into
thoughtlessly rushing headlong
into the Stygian swamp of sin,
but with the joy of holy laughter
The Saint scatters the darkness of doom
with the luminous light of
the divine sense of humor.
Act III
The Dark One returns yet again,
but he changes his strategy
against his valiant opponent:
this time he brings a
sinister squadron of deadly
black-hearted soldiers
to wickedly wage war
against The Saint,
but crushed under the weight
of this wooden cross,
The Saint gives The Father
a total gift of himself and
freely surrenders all in a
prayer of total abandonment --
at that very instant
he notices that the cross
is now much easier to carry,
but he doesn’t know why.
Act IV
The Malicious One is terrified
when his foul bloodshot eyes see
The Lady, The Queen of All Hearts,
in dazzling and majestic beauty,
standing in stately elegance
very close to The Saint,
and with a smile on her lips
she whispers to The Saint
a heartfelt command
of loving compassion:
“Do whatever He tells you.”
Act V
The Evil One, infuriated,
is seething in hot hatred,
but he falls back into the Black Void
when Jesus, The Lord of Love,
appears next to The Saint saying,
“Come to Me, all you who are weary,
and I will refresh you” --
with this, The Saint’s devout soul
is soothed by The Divine Mercy,
and The Saint realizes that the more
he surrenders to The Savior,
the more He takes onto Himself
the weight of The Cross,
and thus, he is wondrously saved by
The Blood of the The Lamb.
