  1. The Late Rev. Brother Benedict O.S.F.

    Share Share Post
    Dear Brother Benedict is dead,
    His life on this earth is run;
    Many kindly words are said
    Now about that holy man.
    In habbit brown and white cord
    He toiled most assiduously,
    In the vineyard of thy Lord
    To the age of eighty-three.
    As he lived so he had died
    In solemn prayer peacefully,
    Wholly resigned and satisfied
    He left the Monastery.
    To his pious brother bade adieu
    And their holy happy home;
    I hope to join the chosen few
    On God Almighty's Throne.
    His paths were paths of righteousness
    Always sincere and just.
    Overflowing with truthfulness
    A safe custodian of any trust.
