Señor Jesucristo, Tú permaneciste tres días en el sepulcro, dando así a toda sepultura un carácter de espera en la esperanza de la resurrección.

Concede a tu sierva Josefina reposar en la paz de este sepulcro hasta que Tú, resurrección y vida de los hombres, la resucites y la lleves a contemplar la luz de tu rostro.

Tú que vives y reinas por los siglos de los siglos.

Lord Jesus Christ by your own three days in the tomb, you hallowed the graves of all who believe in you and so made the grave a sign of hope that promises resurrection even as it claims our mortal bodies.

Grant our sister Josefina may sleep here in peace until you awaken her to glory, for you are the resurrection and the life. Then she will see you face to face and in your light will see light and know the splendor of God.

For you live and reign for ever and ever.
