Graeme Fallon (November AD2000) quotes from the English edition of Evangelium Vitae (s. 99): "You will come to understand that nothing is definitively lost and you will also be able to ask forgiveness from your child who is now living with the Lord."
Msgr John McCarthy (Editor of Living Tradition), says the official Latin edition of E.V. (s.99) should rather be translated as, "And you are able to entrust your child in hope to the same Father and to his mercy" (from Acta Apostolicae Sedis, 1995, pp. 401ff).
