From the Catholic World we clip Cornelius Clifford’s sonnet on “The Indefatigable Christ”:

Go where thou wilt, His heart shalt find thee out;

Be thou in quest of wealth, or power, or fame.

Above life’s tumult shall He call thy name;

His care shall compass thee with grief about;

And thou shalt know Him in thine hours of doubt,

When faith shall pierce thy darkness like a flame,

O dull of sense to Time’s imperious claim,

His love shall prove thy rainfall after drought!

For He shall come in many a blinding shower
