Joyce Inchauspe is a member of the Big Horn Basque Club of Wyoming. When she heard about Aita Tillous’ passing, it was snowing where she lives. She was inspired to make a little Basque snowman as a tribute to a man who they had the pleasure to host many times in Wyoming. She writes:
Father, may you be seated at the heavenly feast with all those you served so well, and that have gone before you to set the table with vino and cheese.
Joyce asks if anyone who speaks and writes Euskara could add a Basque prayer, she would be very grateful.
Eskerrik asko, Joyce!
Prayer of Saint Ignatius Loyola
Teach us, Good Lord,
To Serve Thee as Thou deservest;
To give and not to count the cost;
To fight and not to heed the wounds;
To labor and not to ask for any reward,
save that of knowing that we do Thy will.
Through Jesus Christ Our Lord, Amen.
