VI
THE KINGDOM OF GOD

Ruler of the vast homeland
of an infinite Humanity, You lead us,
a battalion of crusaders, in the capture
of a heavenly Jerusalem, a cloister
of outworn law and dominion
over our eternal future; the only place
of freedom—of which you are the epitome—
the city of God, the final home of Man;
a Christian Universe, that with your blessing
has forged in mankind the Man Himself.
You said: “My kingdom is not of this world!”;
your kingdom is the leaven of history,
not transitory, but eternal; your kingdom,
a Humanity without borders or limits,
a triumph of the eternal Holy Spirit!
