Remembering with grandiosity my days as a soprano participating in the #Mozart #RequiemMass. Around now would be when we would start rehearsing.

Rex! Rex! Rex!
Rex tremendae Majestatis,
Rex tremendae Majestatis

Rex tremendae Majestatis,
qui salvandos salvas gratis
Rex tremendae majestatis,
qui salvandos salvas gratis
Salva me,
Salva me fons pietatis

Translation:

King of tremendous majesty,
Who freely saves those that are to be saved,
Save me, the source of mercy.

Benedict XVI wrote: “Thérèse died on the evening of 30 September 1897, saying the simple words, ‘My God, I love you!’, looking at the Crucifix she held tightly in her hands.”

On the morning of 31 December 2022, Benedict XVI’s last words were: “Lord, I love you.”
