My dear family, I write to you asking you to pray for the repose of the soul of His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI. He died this morning at 9:34am Rome time.

 Réquiem aetérnam dona ei, Dómine. Et lux perpétua lúceat ei. Requiéscat in pace. Amen. Anima ejus, et ánimae ómnium fidélium defunctórum per misericordiam Dei requiéscant in pace. Amen
