Transverberation Lyrics
I've been staggering
Ever since the shot in Rome
On Wednesday May 13, 1981
The golden ball saw it all
Down through the ages
In childbed and deathbed
Flooded with light
The daughters of the church
St. Teresa of Avila
St. Teresa of Lisieux
They were rewarded by God
For loving him
They knew the forms
Of the transverberation
A spiritual wounding of the heart
In the form of a mystical vision
A physical wounding of the heart
By a dart or a flame of love
St. Teresa of Avila
St. Teresa of Lisieux
Ever since the shot in Rome
On Wednesday May 13, 1981
The golden ball saw it all
Down through the ages
In childbed and deathbed
The daughters of the church
St. Teresa of Lisieux
They were rewarded by God
For loving him
They knew the forms
Of the transverberation
In the form of a mystical vision
A physical wounding of the heart
By a dart or a flame of love
St. Teresa of Lisieux

Fairly clear. Links the attempted assassination of Pope John Paul II with Saint Teresa. Legends state St Teresa was spiritually wounded in the heart such was her love for God. John Paul II was famous in his forgiveness of the man who attempted to kill him and even developed a rapport/friendship.
