Abrams inwardly recites the Kaddish for young Flandry. (p. 18)
There are two previous blog references to this prayer. See:
Since my son-in-law, Ketlan, was of Jewish descent, we had the Kaddish at his funeral.
The Kaddish in Aramaic, transliteration and translation is here.

Kaor, Paul!
Very nice, this Jewish prayer traditionally recited for the dead. I like it. For me, a Catholic equivalent would be the "Dies Irae" hymn, which used to be one of the standard songs used for the funerals of adults. Frankly, I like the "Dies Irae" better than "Amazing Grace."
Ad astra! Sean
Kaor, Paul!
Btw, I think Anderson has the spirits of the deceased monks of Glastonbury Abbey singing the "Dies Irae" at the final battle of Prince Rupert and the Royalists against the Roundheads at Glastonbury in A MIDSUMMER TEMPEST.
Ad astra! Sean
Sean,
I think he did.
Paul.
Kaor, Paul!
He did! I found this in Chapter XXIV of A MIDSUMMER TEMPEST:
"...Meanwhile a procession of men, robed and hooded, streamed from the chapel which no longer was. The first bore a crucifix, the next a chalice, and together they all chanted:
"Dies irae, dies illa,
Solvet saeclum in favilla--"
Ad astra! Sean
