Lacrymosa dies illa
qua resurget ex favilla
judicandus homo reus;
huic ergo parce Deus.
Pie Jesu, Domine,
dona eis requiem.
Amen.
Oh, this day
full of tears
when from
the ashes arises
guilty man,
to be judged:
Oh Lord,
have mercy upon him.
Gentle Lord
Jesus,
grant them
rest.
Amen.
Hostias et preces tibi, Domine,
laudius offerimus,
tu suscipe pro animabus illis,
quarum hodie memorarium facimus:
quam olim Abrahae promisisti
et semini ejus.
Lord, in praise we offer to Thee
sacrifices and prayers,
receive them for the souls of those
whom we remember this day:
as Thou didst promise Abraham
and his seed.
{from Mozart's Requiem Mass in D Minor, K. 626}

"A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels." Proverbs 1:5
"How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!" Psalm 119:103
I can't wait to hear what you have to say to me, whether it be words of wisdom or some sweet honey of encouragement. But if it isn't either of those, please be respectful and keep your thoughts to yourself.
