Deacon Pat Laudisio, may you prosper where you go.
May your contemplative prayer heal the world from all despair.
May your verdant garden grow over dear Antonio!
(Sung to the tune "Lucerna laudionae", Hymnal 1982 #538)
Glorious things of Pat are spoken, and they're really, mostly true!
She, whose will cannot be broken, challenges, yet loves us, too.
A deaconal Robin-Hood: stokes the rich and serves the least,
And the poor, the sick, the hungry, all rejoice that she's not a priest!
(Sung to the tune "Austria", Hymnal 1982 #522)
