A lying, torturing, murdering tyrant dies
I can't find it in my heart to be sorry that General Pinochet has died, and neither am I sure that I should. I don't regard death as an end, or even as a cause for regret - other than for those left behind. And I suspect that most of those left behind Pinochet - those touched by him - will feel a weight lifted from their hearts. He was clearly a man touched by evil, and although we all are, it seems that it found expression in him more than in most.May God have mercy on his soul.
May God have mercy on the soul of each of us.
May God grant rest to those who have suffered.
May God grant forgiveness to those who cause suffering.
May God have mercy on his soul.
- Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis,
- Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis,
- Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona nobis pacem.
- (Lamb of God, who carries the sins of the world, have mercy on us,
- Lamb of God, who carries the sins of the world, have mercy on us,
- Lamb of God, who carries the sins of the world, give to us peace.)
