Praise the LORD. _____________________________________________ Gone Home. He that overcometh shall inherit all things. A little time on earth he spent Till God for Him, His angel sent. Love is eternal. My peace I leave you. Christ is my Hope. ( Psalm 84:2-3 ) "How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts! 3 My soul yearns and pines for the courts of the Lord..." ( Philippians 1:3-6 ) "...I give thanks to my God in all my remembrance of you, 4 always in all my prayers making supplications for you all with joy, 5 because of your association with me in spreading the gospel of Christ from the first day until now. 6 I am convinced of this, that he who has begun a good work in you will bring it to perfection until the day of Christ Jesus..." ( Douay-Rheims Bible ) ( Romans 14: 7-9 ) "7. For none of us lives in himself, and none dies to himself; 8. for if we live, we live to the Lord, or if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's. 9. For to this end Christ died and rose again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living." Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.Revelation 14:13I, John, heard a voice from heaven say: "Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on." "Yes," said the Spirit, "let them find rest from their labors, for their works accompany them." The word of the Lord. Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awakeDaniel 12:1-3 In those dats, I, Daniel, mournedand heard this word of the Lord: At that time there shall arise Michael, the great prince, guardian of your people; It shall be a time unsurpassed in distress since nations began until that time. At that time your people shall escape, everyone who is found written in the book. Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake; Some shall live forever, others shall be an everlasting horror and disgrace. but the wise shall shine brightly like the splendor of the firmament, And those who lead the many to justice shall be like the stars forever. The word of the Lord. An unsullied life, is the attainment of old age.Wisdom 4:7-15 The just man,though he die early, shall be at rest.for the age that is honorable comes not with the passing of time, nor can it be measured in terms of years. Rather, understanding is the hoary crown of men, and an unsullied life, the attainment of old age. He who pleased God was loved; he who lived amongst sinners was transported - Snatched away, lest wickedness pervert the mind or deceit beguile the soul. For the witchery of paltry things o bscures what is right and the whirl of desire transforms the innocent mind. Having become perfect in a short while, he reached the fullness of a short career; for his soul was pleasing to the Lord, therefore he sped him out of the midst of wickedness. but the people saw and did not understand, nor did they take this into account. the word of the Lord. Thus we shall always be with the Lord.1 Thessalonians 4:13-18We do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, about those who have fallen asleep, so that you may not grieve like the rest, who have no hope. for if we believe that Jesus died and rose, so too will God, through Jesus, bring with him those who have fallen asleep. Indeed, we tell you this, on the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will surely not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself, with a word of command, will come down from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore, console one another with these words. The word of the Lord. We have a building from God, eternal in Heaven2 Corinthians 5:1, 6-10Brothers and Sisters: We know that if our earthly dwelling, a tent, should be destroyed, we have a building from God, a dwelling not made with hands, eternal in heaven. we are always courageous, although we know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight. Yet we are courageous, and we would rather leave the body and go home to the Lord. Therefore, we aspire to please him, whether we are at home or away. for we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each may receive recompense, according to what he did in the body, whether good or evil. The word of the Lord. Bible Prayer Eccles. 12:7"Then shall the dust return to the earth whence it came, and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it." Peace be with you, all whom death has united in this field, the last home of so many departed ones. Peace will be with your souls, which have been recalled by the voice of God to eternal life.Amen. The Mourner's Kaddish (Jewish)Extrolled and hallowed be the name of G-d through the world which He has created, and which He governs according to His righteous will. Just is He in all His ways, and wise are all His decrees. May His kingdom come and His will be done in all the earth.Praised be the Lord of life, the righteous Judge, for evermore. Whatsoever praise we would render unto G-d, howsoever we would adore the Most High, we would yet fail to give Him the glory due to His great name. Even in the hour of bereavement and sorrow, we feel the majesty of G-d and will give thanks for His manifold mercies. May the Father of peace send peace to all who mourn and comfort all the bereaved among us.To the departed whom we now remember, may peace and bliss be granted in life eternal. May they find grace and mercy before the Lord of heaven and earth. May their souls rejoice in the ineffable good which G-d has laid up for those who fear Him, and may their memory be a blessing unto those who treasure it.Amen. Memorial of The Departed ( Father or Mother ) (Jewish)May G-d remember the soul of my honored Father, who has gone to his eternal home. O let his soul be bound up in the bond of life, and may he rest in honor, with fullness at thy right hand for evermore.Amen. |
