Creed and Code and Church

It’s all to pieces, all coherence gone—
A world in which the Devil reigns secure—
With Creed and Code and Church no longer one
And lives fragmented he has made impure.

Yet in the darkness of our world, Christ comes
Through Mary first to His light shine full pure
That in Him we might our true selves become–
Reflect His glory in salvation sure.

With eyes unveiled we see His world anew,
All knit together parts that make one whole,
With Creed and Code and Church seen in one view
And human bodies seen by Him ensouled.

Coherence comes as we on Him now gaze:
His risen union lightens all our days.
