the hermit bird's song goodYou were always instructing the ignorant about the Kingdom and a good life. You counseled the doubtful apostles and other people. You certainly comforted the sorrowful. You forgave all the injuries done to You. You bore all those injuries with endless patience. You prayed for the living apostles, and even us, twenty centuries later. … You lived and served everyone. That was Your mission, Your dedication and Your happiness.
