Shrine of St. Philippine Duchesne Mound City, Kansas USA

Courage,
vision,
prayer,
what is Philippine to us?
A religious of the Sacred Heart
we must honor
because she is ours?
Ours a friend,
a guide,
a helper
like hers,
in his new age which,
leaves the past behind in shambles
and faces an uncertain dawn.
