<p class="document__title">&#8220;Regina Caeli&#8221; translates to &#8220;Queen of Heaven.&#8221; The church hymn is about Mary rejoicing at the resurrection of her son, Jesus Christ. The &#8220;Queen of Heaven&#8221; <a href="https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/resource/55082/regina-coeli" target="_blank" rel="noopener">prayer</a> goes as follows:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Queen of heaven, rejoice, alleluia.<br />
For he whom you did merit to bear, alleluia.<br />
Has risen, as he said, alleluia.<br />
Pray for us to God, alleluia.<br />
Rejoice and be glad, O virgin Mary, alleluia.<br />
For the Lord has truly risen, alleluia.</em></p>
<p><em>Let us pray. O God, who gave joy to the world through the resurrection of Thy Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, grant we beseech Thee, that through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, His Mother, we may obtain the joys of everlasting life. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Pete Halpin, who organized the fundraiser for his parents and sister, wrote that his family has been &#8220;overwhelmed by your incredible generosity. Your gifts to them, and likely to many others, are true instances of God&#8217;s love.&#8221;</p>
