Pri re d Ivo de Bretagne

Truly, truly I say to you: whoever thirsts for righteousness shall be satisfied.

O Ivo, faithful servant of the Heavenly Father,
You who did not judge by appearance, but judged with righteous judgment.
Just as I washed the feet of my disciples,
So you washed the wounds of the earth's widows and orphans.

Припев
Intercede for us before the throne of the Most High!
For where two or three seek a righteous judgment,
There your light illuminates the darkness of the deceitful world.
Lead us on the path of mercy, Ivo, defender of the poor.


Blessed are those who hunger for justice in my name,
For through your lips spoke the Comforter.
You did not lay up treasures where moth and rust destroy,
But gave your cloak to the one freezing in the cold.

Припев
Intercede for us before the throne of the Most High!
For where two or three seek a righteous judgment,
There your light illuminates the darkness of the deceitful world.
Lead us on the path of mercy, Ivo, defender of the poor.


Let your word, like a mustard seed,
Sprout in hearts turned to stone by pride.
Reprove the unjust, become a shield for the persecuted,
May the Father's will be done on earth as it is in heaven.


Peace I leave with you, my truth I give to you.
Saint Ivo of Brittany, pray for us.
Amen. Amen.
