PRAYER SERVICE TWO

THEME: "We offer N.... to the Lord"

OPENING PRAYER

God, Our Loving Father, we entrust to you our loved one N.... . who has departed from this earthly life. You are the source of life; it is to you that all life will return.

Grant N.... your eternal light and joy; shower upon the family members and relatives that he/she left behind with your comfort and consolation. We ask this through Christ our Lord

All: AMEN

THE WORD OF GOD

John 16:20-22

Jesus said, "In all truth I tell you, you will be weeping and wailing while the world will rejoice; you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn to joy. A woman in childbirth suffers, because her time has come; but when she has given birth to the child, she forgets the suffering, in her joy that a human being has been born into the world. So it is with you: you are sad now, but I shall see you again, and that joy no one shall take from you."

(PAUSE)

REFLECTION

We come here to accompany the family members and close relatives of N.... . They are in grief and sorrow because they have lost their loved one. Yet, death is a reality we cannot avoid; all of us have to face it someday. Jesus, who has conquered death, tells us that this experience of pain, sorrow and tears is only for a time.

For those who believe in Him, there is fullness of life and joy after death. God gave our loved one N.... to us; he has taken him/her back. In faith and with confidence, let us entrust N.... to God our Loving Father. In this act of trust, let us humbly bow down to God's Holy Will.

PRAYER SERVICE THREE

THEME: "Your brother/sister will live"

OPENING PRAYER

Leader:

All powerful and ever-living God, we come together to offer you this prayer of praise on behalf of N.... who has died in faith. Through the resurrection of your Son, you assure us that those who believe even though they die shall live. Brighten up with this hope the lives of the family members of N.... and grant our departed brother/sister the joy of eternal life. We ask this through Christ our Lord.

All: AMEN

THE WORD OF GOD

John 11:20-27

When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him. Mary remained in the house. Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died, but even now I know that God will grant whatever you ask of him"

Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again." Martha said,"I know he will rise again at the resurrection on the last day". Jesus said, "I am the resurrection. Anyone who believes in me, even though that person dies, will live, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" "Yes, Lord", she said, "I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, the one who was to come into the world."

(PAUSE)

REFLECTION

Jesus' resurrection is so powerful that it has destroyed the power of Satan and sin. Where sin brought death, Jesus' resurrection restored life. To those of us who mourn over the departure of N...., Jesus says: 'Your brother/sister shall live... do you believe this?' Let us pluck up our courage and with renewed faith and hope, look beyond our sorrow by proclaiming with Martha, 'Yes, Lord, I believe!'

PRAYER SERVICE FOUR

THEME:"Watch and Pray"

OPENING PRAYER

Leader:

God, Our heavenly Father, you have taught us through Your Son that we do not have a lasting city here on earth. Therefore, we should always watch and pray, and be ready because we do not know when you will call us. May this departure of N.... from this life prompt us to be always awake in faith, prayer and good works. In your mercy and love, grant N.... eternal rest and peace. We ask this through Christ our Lord.

All: AMEN

THE WORD OF GOD

Matthew 24:42-44

Jesus said, "So stay awake, because you do not know the day when your master is coming. You may be quite sure of this, that if the householder had known at what time of the night the burglar would come, he would have stayed awake and would not have allowed anyone to break through the wall of his house. Therefore, you too must stand ready because the Son of man is coming at an hour you do not expect."

(PAUSE)

REFLECTION

As we think of our departed brother/sister, it is good to ask ourselves: 'Will I be ready when my turn comes? Will I be at peace with God and others in the face of death? Will I be satisfied that I have led a meaningful life here on earth? Or have I been living in fear, frustration and misery? To be always ready means to have a firm life of faith, an active prayer life with constant acts of charity - this is Jesus' code Word: "Be always ready." While he was in this world, Jesus was always prepared in facing death.

As we pray for N.... lift our hearts and minds to look forward always to the joys you have prepared for us in heaven. We ask this through Christ our Lord.

All: AMEN

THE WORD OF GOD

Luke 23:32-43

Now they were also leading out two others, criminals, to be executed with Jesus. When they reached the place called The Skull, there they crucified him and the two criminals, one on his right, the other on his left. Jesus said, "Father, forgive them; they do not know what they are doing." Then, they cast lots to share out his clothing.

The people stayed there watching. As for the leaders, they jeered at him with the words, "He saved others, let him save himself if he is the Christ of God, the Chosen One."

The soldiers mocked him too, coming up to him, offering him vinegar, and saying, "If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself." Above him there was an inscription: "This is the King of the Jews."

One of the criminals hanging there abused him: "Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us as well." But the other spoke up and rebuked him, "You got no fear of God at all?" he said, "but in our case we deserved it: we are paying for what we did. But this man has done nothing wrong." Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." He answered him, "In truth, I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.

(PAUSE)

REFLECTION

Jesus stands out as the great sign of HOPE to the whole world. The whole of creation was in a state of utter helplessness and hopelessness as the result of SIN: Yet, how beautifully and confidently Jesus interceded before his Father on behalf of the fallen world: "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.

" To those who have repented, there is a promise of bright future - eternal life of joy with God. This is what the repentant thief received: "This day, you will be with me in paradise." Yes, there is a HOPE, LIFE, and JOY awaiting all those who died in Christ.

All: AMEN

THE WORD OF GOD

Tobit 2:1-8

I returned home and my wife, Anna was restored to me with my son Tobias. At our feast of Pentecost (the feast of Weeks) there was a good dinner. I took my place for the meal; the table was brought to me and various dishes were brought. I then said to my son, Tobias, "Go, my child, and seek out some poor, loyal-hearted man among our brother exiled in Nineveh, and bring him to share my meal. I will wait until you come back, my child."

So Tobias went out to look for some poor man among our brothers, but he came back again and said, "Father!" I replied, "What is it, my child?"

He went on "Father, one of our nation has just been murdered; he has been strangled and then thrown down in the market place; he is there still." I sprang up at once, left my meal untouched, took the man from the market place and laid him in one of my rooms, waiting until sunset to bury him.

I came in again and washed myself and ate my bread in sorrow, remembering the words of the prophet Amos concerning Bethel: "I shall turn your festivals into mourning and all your singing into lamentation."

And I wept. When the sun was down, I went and dug a grave and buried him. My neighbours laughed and said,"See! He is not afraid any more." (You must remember that a price had been set on my head earlier for this very thing) "Once before he had flee, yet here he is, beginning to bury the dead again."

(PAUSE)

REFLECTION

Dear friends, let us thank the Lord for giving all of us the generosity to sympatise and pray with the family of N....

The word of God reminds us that caring for those in sorrow and pain, even burying the dead is a praiseworthy work of mercy before the Lord. we remember Jesus telling us that whatever we do even to the least of his brethren, we do it to Him! May our prayerful presence console and encourage the bereaved family of N.... We are confident that the Lord will favourably answer our prayers and grant eternal light and peace to our brother/sister N....

PRAYER SERVICE SEVEN

THEME: Hope: "I am the Resurrection and the Life "

OPENING PRAYER

Leader:

God, our heavenly Father, you have given us hope of life through the resurrection of your Son. We gather here with confidence praying for our brother/sister N.... that he/she may share in the eternal life you have promised. In your mercy, wipe away all traces of pain and sorrow from the hearts of the bereaved relatives and family members; fill our lives with the joy and hope of resurrection. We ask this through Christ our Lord.

All: AMEN

THE WORD OF GOD

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

We want you to be quite certain, brothers, about those who have fallen asleep, to make sure that you do not grieve for them, as others do who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again, and that in the same way God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.

We can tell you this from the Lord's own teaching, that we who are still alive for the Lord's coming will not have any advantage over those who have fallen asleep.

At the signal given by the voice of the Archangel and the trumpet of God, the Lord himself will come down from heaven; those who have died in Christ will be the first to rise, and only after that shall we who remain alive be taken up in the clouds, together with them, to meet the Lord in the air.

This is the way we shall be with the Lord forever. With such thoughts as these, then, we should encourage one another.

(PAUSE)

REFLECTION

Jesus has died and has risen. This is an historical fact. This is the very foundation of the faith of Christianity. All those who die in Christ will have the similar experience of rising to new life. We recall Jesus' words: "I have come, so that they may have life and have it to the full." Although we feel sad that N.... has passed away let us listen to Jesus who is challenging us:

" I am the resurrection. If anyone believes in me, even though he dies, he will live, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" Like Martha, let us answer: "Yes Lord. We believe." With those words let us comfort and console one another.

The 1^st Sorrowful Mystery
The Agony in the Garden

It was a very trying period in the life of Jesus. He felt terribly isolated: His disciples were sleeping; His Father seemed to be silent. Jesus felt the horror and weight of sin and suffering.

The Crowning with Thorns

Let us pray that we may not be discouraged in the face of the little thorns of pain, disappointment, even loss of our dear ones. Jesus, the King of love, reigns.

Mary's unique greatness and holiness among all creatures are summarized in these words: "Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with you... Blessed are you among women.." She has played her role as Mother of the Saviour most beautifully. Today she shines out in heaven as the most blessed among all creatures.

What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's pow'r?

20. OLD RUGGED CROSS

On a hill far away, stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suffering and shame
And I love that old cross, where the dearest and blest,
For a world of lost sinners was slain.

So, I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down.
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.

On that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me,
For the dear Lamb of God, left His glory above,
To bear it to dark Calvary.

So, I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down.
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.

In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see;
For was on that old cross, Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me.

So, I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down.

For the glorious gift of His love
And the blessings that hallow our days.

In the sweet bye and bye,
we shall meet on that beautiful shore.
In the sweet bye and bye,
we shall meet on that beautiful shore.

24. THANK YOU LORD FOR THE TRIALS

Thank you Lord for the trials that come my way,
In that way I can grow each day, as I let you lead
And I thank you Lord, for the patience those trial bring, in the process of growing, I can learn to care.
But it goes against the way I am,
To put my human nature down,
And let the spirit take control of all I do.
Cause when those trials come, my human nature shouts the things to do, and God's soft prompting can be easily ignored.

Yes I thank you Lord,
for the victory that growing brings,
in surrender of everything,
life is so worthwhile.
And I thank you Lord, that when everything's put in place, out in front I can see your face,
And it's where you belong
And it's where you belong
And it's where you belong

25. THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD

The Lord is my shepherd, he is Lord and I am His guest
Fresh and green are the pastures, where He leads me to my rest.
Near peaceful waters He leads me, to cheer up my cheerless heart,
He guides me on the safe path, He will always do His part.

If I should ever walk in the valley of darkness
No evil would I fear, You are there to show the way
If I should ever walk in the valley of darkness
Your crook and your staff, they will lead me to the day.

You prepare a banquet in the sight of my foes,
You cool my head with oil and my cup now overflows.
Surely goodness and kindness will be with me all the way
The Lord's house for my dwelling, I will thank Him everyday

If I should ever walk in the valley of darkness
No evil would I fear, You are there to show the way
If I should ever walk in the valley of darkness
Your crook and your staff, they will lead me to the day.

Glory be to the Father, Glory to His only Son,
Glory be to the Spirit, glory, glory everyone.
Glory be to the Father, Glory to His only Son,
Glory be to the Spirit, glory, glory everyone.

If I should ever walk in the valley of darkness
No evil would I fear, You are there to show the way
If I should ever walk in the valley of darkness
Your crook and your staff, they will lead me to the day.

27. PILGRIM SONG

Man is lonely by birth,
man is only a pilgrim on earth.
Born to be King, life is but a temporary thing,
Only on loan while on earth.

Like the wind in the tree,
man has been rather restless and free.
Thrown far and wide, he longs to settle down beside,
The stream flowing through eternity.

Like the grass on the lawn,
He will pass by the way and be gone,
A lesson to learn, we walk but once there's no return
Time is always moving on.

Man is longing for one,
For a song and a place in the sun.
A home up above, where everyday is lived in love,
For rest when the journey is done.

28. PRECIOUS LORD

When my ways grow drear, precious Lord linger near,
When my life is almost gone,
hear my cry, hear my call, Hold my hand lest I fall,
take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

Precious Lord, take my hand, lead me on, let me stand
I'm tired, I'm weak, I'm worn through the storm through the night. Lead me on to the light.
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

When my work is all done, and my race here is run,
Lead us by the light thou has shone, that the city's so bright, with the lamp is the light,
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home.

30. LIKE THE DEER THAT YEARNS (PSALM 41)

Antiphon: My soul is thirsting for the Lord;
when shall I see him face to face?

Like the deer that yearns for running streams,
So my soul is yearning for you, my God.

My soul is thirsting for God, the God of my life,
When can I enter and see the face of God?

My tears have become my bread, by night, be day,
As I hear it said all the day long: Where is your God?

These things will I remember as I pour out my soul;
How I would lead the rejoicing crowd into the house of God.

By day the Lord will send his loving kindness;
By night I will sing to him, praise the God of my life

Why are you cast down, my soul, why groan within me?
Hope in God; I will praise him still, my Saviour and my God.

Praise the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit,
Both now and forever, the God who is, who was,
And who will be, world without end.

31. OUT OF THE DEPTHS (PSALM 129)

Antiphon: I place all my trust in you, my God
All my hope is in your mercy

Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord
Lord, hear my voice;
O let your ear be attentive to the voice of my pleading.

If you, O Lord, should mark our guilt,
Lord, who would survive?
But with you is found forgiveness, for this I revere you.

My soul is waiting for the Lord, I count on his word.
My soul is longing for the Lord more than watchman count for daybreak.

Because with the Lord there is mercy
and fullness of redemption;
Israel indeed he will redeem from all its iniquity.

To the Father almighty give glory,
Give glory to his Son,
To the Spirit most Holy give praise
whose reign is for ever.

Antiphon: Yes, I shall arise and return to my Father

1. To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul;
In you, O my God, I place all my trust.

2. Look down on me, have mercy O Lord;
Forgive me my sins, behold all my grief.

3. My heart and soul shall yearn for your face;
Be gracious to me and answer my plea.

4. Do not withhold your goodness from me;
O Lord, may your love be deep in my soul.

5. To you, I pray; have pity on me;
My God, I have sinned against your great love.

And whiter than snow my spirit shall be.

7. Give me again the joy of your help;
Now open my lips, your praise I will sing.

8. Happy is he, forgiven by God;
His sins blotted out his guilt is no more.
