You are both, of course, correct. i humbly apologize. What the hell was I thinking? I have no right to an opinion. Mea culpa, mea culpa. Mea maxima culpa.
Thank you both. @motie2 you have every right to an opinion but not to apply it to a situation of which you have no knowledge. I remember the end of the Latin apology as "mea beni beni cupa" it may have been a Xaverian thing! Sorry the hairs on the back of my neck pointed to the heavens.
@motie2 So far, so good. It’s 7:07 pm, and we somehow still have power. I am almost through my weekly pipe rotation. My small front porch area is mostly sheltered from the wind and rain.
@motie2 The English translation I was taught was: I am sorry, I am sorry, I am very, very sorry. I never heard it with "maxima" but then again I never studied Latin.
In the present form of the Confiteor as used in the celebration of Mass, mea culpa is said three times, the third time with the addition of the adjective maxima ("very great", usually translated as "most grievous"), and is accompanied by the gesture of beating the breast.

Sorry to hear of your and your family's loss and contact with Covid, keep yourself safe.
When ones words are not better than silence, one should be silent.

Mea culpa, mea culpa. Mea maxima culpa.

The quotation you provide is not Augustinian, so I’m at a loss.

As Moses said to Joshua, “Be strong and of good courage.”

I am sorry,
I am sorry,
I am very, very sorry.

Y’all OK?
Keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers….. A clichéd phrase but a heartfelt sentiment.
