I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me,
Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord,
for they rest from their labours.
Even so saith the Spirit, for they rest.
Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine; Let eternal light shine on them O Lord,
Cum sanctis tuis in aeternum, With thy saints in eternity.
quia pius es. For Thou art merciful.
Requiem æternam dona eis Domine, Grant them eternal rest, O Lord,
et lux perpetua luceat eis. and may light perpetual shine upon them.
English text from the Burial Service, 1662 Book of Common Prayer
Latin text from Missa pro defunctis
My prayers go out to the victims and their families.

ReplyDeleteThank you for this, Peter. I have no words.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful tribute, Peter. I'm having a very hard time with this one. Mother Nature's wrath is one thing but this is beyond understanding.
