Suor Quintilia


For every day of your fifty years 
As a sister of mercy
You have prayed for the saving grace
Of the Holy Trinity to enter the lives of all

Today we join with great joy the company
Of the Holy Family that you have so honoured
To say thank you for all those hours

That you thought of us in your prayers
That emerged from your lips
To the Virgin Mary, the mother of mercy

May we wish you the most lovely of days
At this auspicious anniversary 
As we turn our thoughts
To how generously you have lived your life
