POEM: ON MOTHER SERAPHINA

The child of Frederic and Ottilia,

Daughter of Francis and Chiara.

The Spouse of Christ Jesus,

And Mother of all of Us.

Commissioned by God from birth,

You travelled the road with faith.

Of being a Missionary to the Forsaken,

And uplift the downtrodden.

You are an Educationist par-excellence,

In removing the ignorance in mind prevalence.

You gave preference to the education of girls,

And formation of the youth above all else.

Your actions flowed from contemplation,

Of Eucharistic Jesus in Adoration.

You send us to set every heart on fire,

With the love of the Eucharistic flare.

You carried the Mysteries till the tomb,

As Mary carried Christ in her womb.

Let not our hearts, hands and feet become tired,

In walking your path with pride.
