‘O holy angels that appear to me in the night sky, take me as you desire in the light of God’s love and with your wings, protect me.

Oh, the joys of being home, of witnessing the sea and the stars united. The strong ocean breeze moving the clouds and the moon shining down upon me. I can feel, yes, I can feel you, my Lord, in everything. And I love you, my Lord. Restore my joy in all things. Give me rest and renew the path of your mercy within me.

Yes, to be home, for this is now my home; the island that I left is behind me. Only you can bring it back. But we will create in your name something so glorious because it will be for you. Oh, the beauty of the sea and the stars renew my hope and joy.

Mother, you once told me while living on my island home to go out to the balcony and I did so. You then said, look at the stars. You said, look at the stars of hope, because they shall always sing of hope within one’s heart. May the joy of your hope, mother, and of your son’s love reign within me.’

“My son, is it not glorious?”

‘Yes, the waters are moving like glass made of light, both dark and brilliant. Yes, brilliantly shining, reflecting the moon, mother.’

“My son, the angels are waiting for you so that you may know heaven is present.”

‘Yes, mother, and I pray, holy angels, that you will be with me as I sleep in the glory of God’s love and in all that he created me to be.

Mother, I love you. Thank you for coming to me this night, where true life, eternal life, shall never be forgotten. And I shall sleep purely in the light.’
