For the man who has been a constant source of encouragement in faith and holiness for me personally.

Soul of Christ, sanctify him
Body of Christ, save him
Blood of Christ, inebriate him
Water from the side of Christ, wash him
Passion of Christ, strengthen him
O good Jesus, hear me
Within Thy wounds, hide him
Never let him be separated from Thee
From the malicious enemy defend him
In the hour of his death, call him
and bid him come to Thee
that with all Thy saints he may praise thee forever and ever.
Amen

  Hi Jay, It Michael (Francis?) from our CAF days.
  
  I’m glad to hear that you turned that last bout around and are home now. Thanks Be To God! Neither of us will leave this world behind until in the hour of our death He calls us and bids us come to Him, that we may praise him forever and ever. You always remain in my prayers. Benedictus Deus in saecula, Mike Teague
