Dedication
To JESUS Christ
The most lovable of all
mankind /
To the King, / the Messenger, / the Originator
and Accomplisher of all love; /
To the one and only aim and purpose of
all enamoured hearts; /
Into His supreme care and eternal
bliss

are committed,

As proof of his love
With all possible humility / and
the heartfelt desire to
love Him profoundly and eternally
above everything else /

These pastoral songs which originated
and were poured out from His love /

by the most unworthy lover
of His Holiness
Johannes Angelus.
