IN HONOR OF THE LATE _____________

OPENING SONG HERE I AM, LORD

I, the Lord of sea and sky,

I have heard My people cry.
All who dwell in dark and sin,
My hand will save.
I who made the stars of night,
I will make their darkness bright.
Who will bear My light to them?
Whom shall I send?
Here I am Lord, Is it I Lord?
I have heard You calling in the night.
I will go Lord, if You lead me.
I will hold Your people in my heart.

LET US PRAY: .
Here, today, we are reminded of the sanctity of life, and the sacred air which the ending of a

love .. Our hearts are touched as we contemplate the reality of being parted in this life from .........

SONG: LIFT UP YOUR HANDS

Life is not at all that bad my friend, mmm.... Come to Me and I will give you rest.'
If you believe in yourself When you feel the world is tumbling down on
If you believe there's someone you
Who walks through life with you And you have no one that you can hold on to
You'll never be alone Just face the rising sun and you'll see hope
Just learn to reach out And there's no need to run
And open your heart Lift up your hands to God
Lift up your hands to God And He'll make you feel alright
And He'll show you the way And He said
And He said 'Cast your burdens upon me
'Cast your burdens upon me Those who are heavily laden
Those who are heavily laden Come to me all of you who are tired
Come to meall of you who are tired Of carrying heavy loads
Of carrying heavy loads For the yoke I will give you is easy
For the yoke I will give you is easy And My burden is light
And My burden is light Come to Me and I will give you rest.'

LET US PRAY: God our Father, in this time of quietness, of sober reflection and of loss, we look
for your comfort. We cannot understand all of your ways we cannot understand all of life. But we
do know the love and friendship we valued when ...... was with this lovely family. It is in our hearts
to give thanks, to celebrate and to recognise .......s life. May we be reminded of the true values of
living for this life, and find comfort in your unfailing love.
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.

The word of the Lord. Thanks to be God.

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. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
