V. Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine.
R. Et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Fidelium animae, per misericordiam Dei, requiescant in pace. Amen.

Whenever Bishop Olivier was the celebrant for Saturday evening Masses at St. Patrick's Church in downtown DC (where he last served in retirement status), we'd wait as he did a Sign of the Cross as he recessed out. Sometimes I'd see the Bishop on the street in the neighborhood. I will miss and pray for him.
