No one should fear to undertake any task in the name of our Saviour,
if it is just and if the intention is purely for His holy service.

By prevailing over all obstacles and distractions,

As children in grade school
we sang the song of Columbus
IN 1492
In the year fourteen hundred ninety-two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
He had three ships and left from Spain;
The Nina, the Pinta, the Santa Maria.
He sailed through sunshine,
wind and rain.
He sailed by night; he sailed by day;
He used the stars to find his way.
A compass also helped him know
How to find the way to go.
Ninety sailors were on board;
Some men worked while others snored.
Then the workers went to sleep;
And others watched the ocean deep.
Day after day they looked for land;
They dreamed of trees and rocks and sand.
October 12 their dream came true,
You never saw a happier crew!
