The Effort, God Rewards (He's The Result)

Robert Joseph Mattingly 1957 (Brookline, Massachusetts)



In that chapel,
There was a small
Piece of paper
Like 3×5,
On it the most
Perfect of prayers.
I read it, but
It didn't have
Enough info
On front or back
So I went to
A bookstore and
Ordered the book,
'Jesus Appeals
To The World' now
I have the book
With the leaflet
Inside of it
Understanding
The most perfect
Of prayers, ever.
"Jesus, Mary,
I Love You, Save
Souls!" seven words;
I say a lot
Of times each day.
