On Wednesday morning at Rome's Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls, English Cardinal Arthur Roche celebrated a Mass of Remembrance for Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Cardinal Roche is prefect of the Dicastery for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments.
In his homily for the occasion, Cardinal Roche recalled fondly how so many throughout the world expressed their great affection and joined together in"commemorating, praying for and paying tribute to a very great woman - a deeply loving wife and proud mother, grandmother and great-grandmother – a dedicated Sovereign who exercised wise leadership - and is now greatly missed.
“In her Christmas broadcast of 2014, she said: “For me, the life of Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, is an inspiration and an anchor in my life. A role model of reconciliation and forgiveness. He stretched out his hands in love, acceptance, and healing. Christ’s example has taught me to seek to respect and value all people of whatever faith or none.
In conclusion, the Cardinal said that as we remember Queen Elizabeeth II in our own way and pay tribute to her person and devoted service, we gain insights, inspiration, and understanding into what made her such a beloved Queen, and the desire to be of service to others in our own lives. “We loved her much and we shall miss her dearly. But we pray, that when we too reach our journey’s end, she will be there also among the ‘great and the small’ in God’s Kingdom as she was within her own. May she now, after a life of faith well lived and work so well done, rest in peace.”
