Ave
Maria,
hear
our
prayer
As
we
gather
in
the
light
of
Your
grace
Lord,
You
are
great
It
has
been
a
year
since
the
silence
fell
Since
Regina
Nsakashalo
took
her
rest
A
gentle
soul,
a
heart
of
pure
gold
A
precious
gift
that
You
held
in
Your
breast
We
walk
through
the
garden
of
memory
now
Tracing
the
path
where
her
laughter
once
grew
Though
the
sorrow
is
heavy
and
the
spirit
is
worn
We
lift
up
our
hearts
in
thanksgiving
to
You
Ave
Maria,
full
of
grace
We
thank
You
for
the
life
that
You
gave
For
Regina,
our
mother,
our
beacon
of
love
For
the
peace
that
You
keep
in
the
heavens
above
Lord,
You
are
great,
in
the
loss
and
the
pain
We
hold
to
the
promise
of
mercy
like
rain
And
we
remember
Father
Israel
today
Israel
Mwaba
Maliseni,
a
shepherd
of
light
Called
to
the
altar,
called
to
the
flame
To
guide
us
through
shadows
and
dark
of
the
night
He
served
with
a
spirit
that
asked
for
so
little
He
gave
of
his
wisdom,
he
gave
of
his
time
His
priesthood
a
mirror
of
Your
holy
love
A
rhythm
of
heaven,
a
sacred
design
Ave
Maria,
full
of
grace
We
thank
You
for
the
life
that
You
gave
For
Regina,
our
mother,
our
beacon
of
love
For
the
peace
that
You
keep
in
the
heavens
above
Lord,
You
are
great,
in
the
loss
and
the
pain
We
hold
to
the
promise
of
mercy
like
rain
Though
they
are
gone
from
our
physical
sight
They
remain
in
the
glow
of
the
altar
lamp’
s
light
In
every
prayer
whispered,
in
every
tear
shed
In
the
holy
communion,
the
life
and
the
bread
We
are
grateful,
O
Lord,
for
the
time
that
we
had
Even
in
mourning,
we
are
not
truly
sad
For
they
are
with
You
in
the
kingdom
of
peace
Where
the
struggles
of
earth
find
a
final
release
So
we
place
them
before
You,
our
dearest
ones
Wrapped
in
the
mantle
of
Mother
Mary’
s
care
Regina,
our
mother,
and
Israel,
our
priest
Two
souls
now
united
in
the
stillness
of
prayer
May
the
light
of
Your
mercy
shine
down
on
their
names
May
the
silence
of
heaven
be
gentle
and
kind
May
the
silence
of
heaven
be
gentle
and
kind
We
walk
on
in
faith,
knowing
You
are
the
rock
Leaving
the
shadows
and
sorrow
behind
Ave
Maria,
full
of
grace
We
thank
You
for
the
life
that
You
gave
For
Regina,
our
mother,
our
beacon
of
love
For
the
peace
that
You
keep
in
the
heavens
above
Lord,
You
are
great,
in
the
loss
and
the
pain
We
hold
to
the
promise
of
mercy
like
rain
Ave
Maria,
Ave
Maria
Thank
you
for
the
life
of
our
loved
ones
Resting
in
Your
arms,
forevermore
Amen,
Amen,
Amen
