This Francis: We're Watching You

You are a repentant but fearless warrior of the message.

One of the tiny but flickering lights in the dark global fortress of pretenders.

Pretenders who claim to be the messengers of the "good news"

Pretenders who have been blinded in self glorification cajoling the hurt-in-spirit; wrestling from the needy, their widow's mite.

Pretenders who have led many astray, as they are themselves;

as they unknowingly now serve mammon.

Making more to go "blind", making evil flourish across the land. 

We beseech Thee to cleanse, as in the days of yore.
