Bab 107: Chapter 75: The End of 1482 - Explorer's Pillar_4

My fleeting body elevates my eternal soul,

Just as was once your choice.

The love for Jesus bathes me in Sacred Fire,

I thirst for his sacraments,

Passionately burning to spread his glory.

"Through your powerful intercession,

Help me fulfill my duty to the Lord,

To save myself and the entire world!

The infinite faith in Virgin Mary,

Protects the purity of my soul,

Blesses every day of my life,

Keeping me from mortal sins,

And granting me the grace of a blessed death.

Amen.

"Lord, the peaceful explorer and great devotee,

Who glorified Portugal's Saint Afonso,

He who snatched lands from the heathens,

Through his efforts,

We are creating God's glory,

And thus called the children of God.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,

In the unity of the Holy Spirit,

One God forever and ever,

Amen.

"Heavenly Father, we thank You for the beautiful gift,

For setting the example of Portugal's Saint Afonso.

Through hardships and trials,

We shall always be loyal to You.
