Holy Trinity, we adore you and thank you for giving us your faithful servant Nuccia Tolomeo, sister in faith and sublime example of Christian life and virtues. Through her, you gave us the smile and tenderness of your paternal and maternal heart and you re-proposed participation in the cross of Jesus as the only pedagogy which, with the power of the Spirit, redeems, saves and gives life. Clinging to the crown of Mary's Rosary, she completed, loved and joyfully lived in her flesh the sufferings of the cross of Christ, her husband, in favor of the church. You have worked wonders in her, calling her to be, in Jesus, a victim of love for suffering humanity. Following her example, she also makes us spend ourselves totally for the good of the brothers. Grant us, through her intercession, according to your will, the grace we implore ..., and let her soon be numbered among your saints. Amen.

Gaetana Tolomeo
