Do you wish the world were happy? Then remember day by day Just to scatter seeds of kindness As you pass along the way. For the pleasures of the many May be ofttimes traced to one, As the band that plants the acorn Shelters armies from the sun. - Leaflets.

Blessed Mary! thou wert chosen As Mother of thy Lord: Thou didst guide the early footsteps Of the great Incarnate Word. Dearest Mother! make us humble; For thy Son will take His rest In the poor and lowly dwelling Of a humble sinner's breast.

Joseph! thou wert called the father Of thy Maker and thy Lord; Thine it was to save thy Saviour From the cruel Herod's sword. Suffer us to call thee father; Show to us a father's love; Lead us safe through every danger Till we meet in heaven above.
