After a profound calm, like the caress of spirits in flight, she raised her eyes, veiled in the shadow of hope, and said quietly, “Hidden Justice, concealed behind these terrifying images, you hear the lamentation of my soul, now commended to God, and the cry of my negligent heart. From you alone I ask and you I implore, have mercy and train my son with your right hand, and receive my spirit with your left.”

Her strength faded and her sighs grew faint. She looked at her son with a mournful, pitying gaze. Her eyes slowly closed, and in a voice that approximated silence she said, “Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Forgive us our tres-passes . . .”

Her voice broke off, though her lips still worked for a while. When they stopped, all movement in her body faded away. Then she quivered and moaned, and her face drained of color, and her spirit emanated forth. Her eyes continued to stare at what could not be seen.
