(:nl:)Ti ringraziamo, o Dio nostro Padre, perché hai fatto di Mamma Margherita una donna forte e saggia, una madre eroica e una sapiente educatrice. Donaci la gioia di vederla glorificata, affinché risplenda per tutti la via della santificazione, vissuta nel quotidiano e umile servizio del prossimo. Per la sua intercessione concedi le grazie che ti chiediamo con cuore fiducioso. Per Gesù Cristo nostro Signore. Amen! ( To start this translation in edit mode, please create an empty line first to separate your paragraph. Thank you )

We give you thanks, God our Father, for making Mamma Margaret a strong and wise woman, heroic mother and wise teacher. Give us the joy of seeing her glorified, so that her road to holiness, found in daily experience and humble service, may be an inspiration for us. May we, like Don Bosco, follow her example, through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen. (UK effort, including two mothers)

God our Father, we thank you for making Mamma Margaret a strong and wise woman, a heroic mother and a wise educator. Give us the joy of seeing her raised to the honors of the altar so that all may imitate her way of sanctity which consisted in daily and humble service of neighbour. Through her intercession grant us the grace we request with a trusting heart. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. (Matthew Coutinho sdb, India)

Matt - maybe with 'holiness' instead of 'sanctity'? jbf

'service of neighbour' - is there a better expression? 'service of her neighbour'

Maybe we could improve 'which consisted of' (a bit clumsy) to simply 'lived as'.(:nl:)
