Remembering Marie Antoinette, Queen of France

In memory of Marie Antoinette (2 November, 1755 – 16 October, 1793), Queen of France, executed during the French Revolution's Reign of Terror, we pray for the happy repose of her soul. Viva ‘a Reggina!

Eternal rest grant unto Her Majesty, O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
