The drama of life and death in reality

| | Comments (0)

Turn, O Lord, and deliver their souls for there is none in death who will be mindful of You!

Mourning.jpgThe dead from Italy's earthquake last week are mourned. A Mass of Christian Burial was offered on Good Friday by Tarcisio Cardinal Bertone, Secretary of State to His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI with the bishops and priests of the region.

We beseech Thee, O Lord, deliver the souls of Thy servants, that being dead to this world, they may live to Thee and whatever sins they have committed through human frailty, do Thou wipe away by the pardon of Thy merciful goodness.

Cardinal Bertone.jpgRequiem aeternam dona eis, Domine. Et lux perpetua luceat eis. Requiescant in pace. Amen.
