Of Your Charity...

Of your charity, please pray for the repose of the soul of Christine Ackers, who died today.

Christine was the Latin Mass Society's Diocesan Representative in Lancaster, until she retired from the role recently.  Her tireless work resulted in numerous Masses around the diocese, including the regular Sunday Mass in the Cathedral (4th Sunday, 12.15).

She was fortified by the rites of the Church and received Our Lord from Canon Shield immediately before her death.

Requiem aeternam dona ei Domine, et lux perpetua luceat ei.


Requiescat in pace.

Amen.

I will pray for Christine's soul. But the Latin would be more correct as:

Requiem aeternam dona ei Domine, et lux perpetua luceat ei.

instead of

Requiem aeternam dona ea Domine, et lux perpetua luceat ea.

(because the dative of this pronoun is the same in m., f., and n.)

Thank you Helen: a little knowledge, (half-remembered from O-level in 1976) is clearly a dangerous thing!
