A Short History of The Poor Clares Galway
Celsus O. Brien OFM


Christ on the cross bows His head,
Waiting for you,
That He may kiss you;
His arms are outstretched,
That He may embrace you,
His hands are open,
That He may enrich you;
His body spread out,
That He may give Himself totally,
His feet are nailed,
That He may stay there,
His side is open for you,
That He may let you enter there.


St. Bonaventure
