The Chastisement

Our sheep are in the pasture,
grazing on the grasses;
and we are surrounded by wolves.

War has broken out on many fronts,
this is the hour of great tribulation;
when all the world will be tested.

Humanity has had time to prepare,
but they spent their time;
partaking of meaningless pleasures.

They ate the good fruit,
rather than bitter fruits;
instead of The Passion of The Christ.

Saying to one another,
"come, let us be merry;
eat and drink,
dance with us!"

When their mother, Mary, warned them,
when she said to them;
"prayer, penance, and sacrifice."

Now they will cry out for peace,
but they have made a bed of war;
by their own negligence, only war,
and now they must lie in their bed.

Mercy is theirs if they take it,
but they will not take it;
for they have turned their backs,
against their God,
they have turned their backs to Him.
