Mary, sweet peace and dearest consolation
of suffering mortal: you are the fount whence springs
the current of solicitude that brings
unto our soil unceasing fecundation.

From your abode, enthroned on heaven's height,
in mercy deign to hear my cry of woe
and to the radiance of your mantle draw
my voice that rises with so swift a flight.

You are my mother, Mary, and shall be
my life, my stronghold, my defense most thorough;
and you shall be my guide on this wild sea.

If vice pursues me madly on the morrow,
if death harasses me with agony:
come to my aid and dissipate my sorrow!

When he was in Spain, Raquel, he would visit frequently Marian devotion sites. When he endured the hard years of medical school, he found refuge and solace in Catholic Mass....and received God's Grace.

I believe that on his day of execution, Rizal was probably reciting the Holy Rosary, and was given the strength to enter Eternity with courage, integrity, and justice, and faith in the Life Ever After.
