I
would like the angels of Heaven to be among us.
I
would like an abundance of peace.
I
would like full vessels of charity.
I
would like rich treasures of mercy.
I
would like cheerfulness to preside over all.
I
would like Jesus to be present.
I
would like the three Marys of illustrious renown to be with us.
I
would like the friends of Heaven to be gathered around us from all
parts.
I
would like myself to be a rent payer to the Lord; that I should
suffer distress, that he would bestow a good blessing upon me.
I
would like a great lake of beer for the King of Kings.
I
would like to be watching Heaven’s family drinking it through all
eternity.
