Stumbling over heaps of brick and plaster
and broken glass he staggered into the
church.

The nave was dark, but early dawn lit up
the choir. On the steps which had led to
the high-altar, stood the priest in his
chasuble celebrating morning Mass in his
ruined sanctuary. Tall and erect his figure
stood out against the reddening sky. “Gloria
in excelsis Deo!
” came from his lips amidst
the moan from the straw-covered floor.

Gloria in excelsis Deo!

As he lifted the chalice over his head the
sun rose through the broken vault of the apse
to reveal to the day the dark deed of the
night.
