The ship is wrecking,
Synod is rocking!
O Holy Papa, we plead for,
help us, not leave in despair!
The ship is wrecking,
‘Alter Christus’ still sleeping?
Our candles burned out
Darkness engulfs our hopes.
The ship is wrecking
And guards still boose off
In worldly deeds and deals
Forgetting dooms to come.
The Anchor is cut off
And the ship sway invain
Over the tides of might,
Awaiting a saviour arrive!
Santhom didn’t make a Church.
Yet Gospel did he preach,
We strayed by misdeeds
And words of vision marred
No heart grasps synodality
No Ecumenism to sense.
We beg to be heard
Our hearts yearn your love.
You are the Rock, Oh Papa
Cornerstone choice, of
The Lord who fathomed your love,
to lead His sheep.
May Grace be filled, wish
Blessing be showered
May Holy Spirit enkindle
Wisdom, health profound
To lead the Church ahead.
- (S O S : A far cry for help of Pope Francis from the faithful of Archdiocese of Ernakulam-Angamaly)
