Our spiritual staff captain, Dr. Vitéz Imre Vejkey de Vejke – Leader of the Hungarian Parliamentary Prayer Group – greets the members of the Order of Vitéz with the following lines on the occasion of the blessed holiday of Easter.
A Blessed Easter I Wish for You,
In the Light of the Risen Christ!
Hear now, everything else can wait,
Turn to the Lord, who rose for your sake,
Who says that love must lead the faith –
Listen, and feel your soul awake!
Hear now, everything else can wait,
The nard oil may now anoint His feet,
So precious – just like fleeting time –
Longing, who comes from Golgotha complete.
Hear now, everything else can wait,
The dipped bread may betrayal bring.
Lord, wipe away each trace of stain
That evil’s snare might try to cling.
Hear now, everything else can wait,
Yet the rooster crows, and denial flows –
For shadows tear instead of light,
Your soul in battle, its hope for shelter grows.
Hear now, everything else can wait,
Cleanse your soul, be worthy finding the Lord
You’ll find the root born from the Cross
Which leads to the source of life so adored.
Amen!
