I have reached an end and a beginning.
I am ready, Abba, to accomplish my mission.
Take me there and bring me back wholly.
Stay with my beloved ones and keep them safe and whole.
Allow me to feel again my wife’s sweet embrace
My children’s love
My grandchildren’s hugs and kisses
My doggies joyful barks;
But if you were to call me to your side,
Help me to accept your will joyfully
And always proclaim before you
That your most high, sovereign will be done
in the heavens and on earth.
Sub tuum praesidium confugimus, Sancta Dei Genitrix.
Nostras deprecationes ne despicias in necessitatibus nostris,
sed a periculis cunctis libera nos semper,
Virgo gloriosa et benedicta.
