O Virgin Queen and Mother/ O dewy fleece most sacred Rejoice, O unwedded Bride! O height transcending heaven above/ O beam of light most radiant Rejoice, O unwedded Bride! O joy of chaste and virgin maids/ surpassing all the angels Rejoice, O unwedded Bride! O brilliant light of heaven above/ most clear and most radiant Rejoice, O unwedded Bride! [/i] [hr] [b]"I confess to Almighty God and to you, Father, that I have sinned. My last confession was two years, four months and one week ago."[/b] Said the lady of Spain, the queen of the exiles who defended Haven from the Red Star's forces. Before a screen that separated her from the priest. To him, she said [b]"Since then, I have committed mortal sins. They are the murder of several souls that belonged to the Red Star, my inability to save the lives of my men during battle, my own fault for not being able to work well with my fellow defenders and pilots and for my own pride and mistakes that cost me a lot during battle with the enemy. I also committed the sins of..."[/b] And so she said them. Soon enough, the priest and she spoke at length just as stopped herself to say [b]"For these and all the sins that I have committed during my life, I am deeply sorry."[/b] Then she asked the priest [b]"Dear Father, will you pray for me and my people that we may soon take victory into our hands and see our home again?"[/b] "I will, dear child. I shall pray for you and your people and for victory." "Thank you, Dear Father..." Then she took a deep breath and prepared herself for the Act of Contrition after the priest gave her her penance and invited her to pray. [b]"An Act of Contrition O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended you and I detest all my sins, because I dread the loss of heaven and the pains of hell. But most of all because I have offended you, my God, who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of your grace, to confess my sins, to do penance and to amend my life. Amen."[/b] Absolution was then given. The priest made the sign of the cross for her as she bowed her head and soon, he told her "Da gracias al Señor porque Él es bueno..." [b]"Porque para siempre es su misericordia... Agradezco a Dios por toda su misericordia y gracia. Que pueda hacer su voluntad tanto como luche por lo que mi gente desea."[/b] She made a sign of the cross again. Then she rose from her knees and bowed to the priest, thanking him gently. After this, she departed from the box and left the chapel and reached for her rosary. From then on, she began to recite her penance: [b]"Danos paz señor En este día Porque no hay nadie más Quien peleará por nosotros"[/b] (Give us peace, Lord On this day Because there is no one else Who will fight for us) She said these words six times then began to recite: [b]"Dame fuerza, Dios de los reyes y reinas de esta Tierra, y déjame redimirme haciendo todo lo que pueda por mi pueblo" [/b] For these words, she said them two times. Then she ended her first penance with one more recitation: [b]"Holy Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do you, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who wander through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen."[/b] And at once, she crossed herself. Then, gently kneading the beads of her rosary, she walked on until she found the room where officers and the International Volunteers were meeting. At once, she dropped to one knee and bowed her head, saying as her rosary remained in her hand, draped over her knee [b]"Perdóname por favor. I was late because I had to do my confession and serve my first penance. I hope I am able to catch up and perform my second penance by asking you what I can do more for you and Haven."[/b] [@Letter Bee] [hr] [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_4WWf9MT9s[/youtube] [i]Deliver me, O Lord, from death eternal on that fearful day, When the heavens and the earth shall be moved, When thou shalt come to judge the world by fire.[/i]
