“Oración:
Dios mio vos habéis llevado la persona
Que mas amábamos en este mundo
Nos habéis privado de él para siempre
Pero si vos los habéis dispuesto
De esta suerte cúmplase en toda vuestra santísima
Voluntad así sobre él como sobre nosotros.
Los dias de su separación pasan pero su
Memoria se conserva en los suyos indelible
El Señor llevo para si a quien era nuestro consuelo.
Despertad, Señor su recuerdo en todos los que le
Conocieron y amaron para que le ofrezcan
Ante vuestro altar la ultima prueba de afecto.
El pensamiento de volvernos a encontrar en el cielo, dulcifica nuestro duelo
Y llena de esperanza nuestro dolor.
La Familia Agradece su asistencia a la misa que se realizo en su honor en Brooklyn, New York
Enero 19, 2002”
Translated to English, the text reads:
“Prayer:
O my God, you have borne the person
whom we loved most in this world,
you have deprived Us of him forever,
but if you have disposed them,
may it be fulfilled in all your most holy
will, both on him and on us.
The days of their separation pass, but their
memory is preserved in theirs, indelible.
The Lord took to Himself the one who was our consolation.
Awaken, O Lord, in all those who
knew and loved him, so that they may offer him
before your altar the last proof of affection.
The thought of meeting again in heaven sweetens our grief
and fills our pain with hope.
