IN HONOR OF THE LATE
__________________________________________________________________
GREETINGS: Dear friends we are here to offer this prayer service to the bereaved
family. We are here to offer our prayers to _____________.
Likewise extend our sincere condolence and sympathy to the
members of the family , friends and relatives who are joining in this
very glorious memento. Every time we remember her presence, we
become conscious of our loss and of our grief. Grief causes a
wound, sometimes a very deep wound. Like all wounds, it hurt. But
this is one wound we need not be ashamed of, for it is caused by
LOVE. What we are now, she was once. What she is now, we will
be. Christ blessed those who mourn and said they would be comforted.
As we recall his words, let us renew our faith in his presence among
us.
In name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. AMEN.

Holy and propitiatory offering, they me be fund worthy to win

SONG: AMAZING GRACE
LET US PRAY: God of Mercy and compassion, no one is safe from death, the seeds
of death are implanted in
life. Even your only Son had to pass through the dark valley of death.
But we know that on the third day he rose from the dead and is now
sharing in your glory. And so we pray with
fullest trust: Give our brother _________ the place which your Son
has prepared for Him.
Let him share in your everlasting life , joy and peace on account of
him who died for us,
Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
FIRST READING: A reading from the book of Wisdom 3:1-9
But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and no torment will ever
touch them. In the eyes of the foolish they seemed to have died, and their departure was
thought to be a disaster, and their going from us to be their destruction; but they are at
peace. For though in the sight of others they were punished, their hope is full of
immortality. Having been disciplined a little, they will receive great good, because God
tested them and found them worthy of himself; like gold in the furnace he tried them, and
like a sacrificial burnt-offering he accepted them. In the time of their visitation they will
shine forth, and will run like sparks through the stubble. They will govern nations and
rule over peoples, and the Lord will reign over them forever. Those who trust in him will
understand truth, and the faithful will abide with him in love, because grace and mercy
are upon his holy ones, and he watches over his elect.

I have called you each by name
Come and follow me, I will bring you home

I will lift you from all your fears
You will hear my voice, I claim you as my choice

I am eyes for all who are long to see
In the shadows of the night, I will be your light
Come and rest with me. (Response)

Healing for the ones who dwell on shame
All the blind will see, the lame will run free
And all will know my name (Response)

I will call your name, embracing all your pain
Stand up, now walk and live. (Response)
GOSPEL: INTRODUCTION:
Man is like a seed. If it is left to itself, it produces nothing but when it
apparently dies, when it has been buried in the ground then it gives more than itself: it
brings a whole harvest.
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 12: 23 26.
Jesus said to His disciples: Now the hour has come for the Son of man to be
glorified. I tell you most solemnly, unless wheat grain falls on the ground and dies, it
remains only a single grain; but if it dies, it yields a rich harvest. Anyone who loves
his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. If a man serves me, he must follow
me whenever I am, my servant will be there too. If anyone serves me, my Father will
honor him.
This is the Gospel of the Lord.
In His great love, the God of all consolation, gave our dear _______________
the gift of life. It is the same God who has taken him/her unto Himself. May his/her
faith in the resurrection be the hope of rising a new life. We ask this through Christ,
our Lord. Amen.
Lord, our God, have mercy on our beloved dead. Bring him/her into the
fullness of your joy and let him/her live with you in heaven. Give him/her eternal
rest, o Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon him/her. May all the faithful departed
through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.
