| On behalf of all the pilgrims of the world, Michael Mangan bids farewell to Veronica, reading one of her favorite poems given to her by St. Theresa, Exhortation, while adding to the end a phrase as follows: "Who'll stand up and fight for all Heaven's glory, and meet with Pope Paul--and Veronica of the Cross--at the end of life's story." |
