More than a cathedral, is a pregnant mother!
A living temple of the Holy Spirit!
A loving tabernacle of life! No other
Human handiwork approaches near it!
So Mommy carried you with feeling! With pride!
Her overflowing love was evident
We were then campaigning far and wide,
"Twill be a girl" she said, wherever we went,
"She follows our second three boys in a row,
"She'll be our third girl, sibling number nine."
Indeed, with faith, blessings overflow.
Greater than all our dreams is God's design!
You came on Gaudete—Rejoice!—Sunday, God chose
To give us Rose Maricon, our mystic rose!
