Healed-

in mind, body and spirit!

We will never forget you, Aunt Bernie.

With many fond memories, we will miss you.
 
St. Bernadette, pray for us!


Réquiem ætérnam dona ei Dómine;
et lux perpétua lúceat ei. Requiéscat in pace.
Amen.
 
Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord;
and let perpetual light shine upon her.
May she rest in peace.
Amen.

The Queenship of Blessed Virgin Mary

  Tonight in Des Moines, Iowa my loving family sits with Father Bertogli at Aunt Bernadette's bedside. She's received Extreme Unction. Thank you Father for always taking care of our family. Honoring our Mother in Heaven,the patroness of the diocese of Des Moines...


Hail holy Queen, mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us. And after this our exile show unto us the blessed Fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Amen.
 
Latin Version:
Salve, Regina, mater misericordiae: vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve. Ad te clamamus exsules filii Hevae. Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes in hac lacrimarum valle. Eia, ergo, advocata nostra, illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte. Et Iesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, nobis post hoc exsilium ostende. O clemens, O pia, O dulcis Virgo Maria. Amen.
