    Misamis Oriental Chapter

    MEMORIAL SERVICE

    LEADER: Almighty Father, we call upon you to be with us at this


    moment. Hear us as we pray for the soul of our brother/sister
    _______. May you grant him/her peace and life in your kingdom.

    LEADER: In the name of the Father . . .


    The Lord be with you.

    ALL: And also with you.

    LEADER: Let us pray:


    Lord God, our Creator and Redeemer, you made the
    cross for us as a sign of strength and marked us as your in the
    sacrament of resurrection. Now that you have freed our
    brother/sister ____________ from this mortal life, make him/her
    one of your saints in heaven. Grant us the mantle of your grace
    and protection that even in the expectation of death and in trying
    times, we have the courage to go on. Remain calm and in the
    comfort of your compassion. We ask this through your Son,
    Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.

    READER: The first reading is taken from Sirach 1:1-13.

    All wisdom comes from the Lord and endures with him,
    forever. The grains of said, the drops of rain and the days of
    eternity, who can count them? The height of heaven, the extent
    of the earth and the depths of the abyss, who can measure them?
    Wisdom was created before all things and the prudent intellect
    before the beginning of time. To whom was the source of wisdom
    revealed? Who has known her secret designs? One alone is wise
    and greatly to be feared. The one is seated upon his throne. The
    2

    Lord himself created wisdom. He looked on her and knew her


    value. He poured her out over all his works, upon all mortal
    beings, in accordance with his goodness. He lavished her on
    those who love him. The fear of the Lord is our glory and honor.
    It is joy and a triumphant crown. The fear of the Lord gladdens
    the heart. It gives joy, gaiety and long life. For the one who
    fears the Lord, all will go well at the end of his life and he will be
    blessed on the day of his death.

    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?

    Refrain
    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

    I, the Lord of snow and rain


    I have borne my people’s pain
    I have wept for love of them
    They turn away
    I will break their hearts of stone
    Give them the hearts for love alone
    I will speak my word to them
    Whom shall I send? (Refrain)

    I, the Lord of wind and flame


    3

    I will tend the poor and lame


    I will set a feast for them
    My hand will save
    Finest bread I will provide
    ‘Till their hearts be satisfied
    I will give my life to them
    Whom shall I send? (Refrain)

    READER: The second reading is taken from 1 Peter 1:3-11.

    Let us praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ for his
    great mercy in raising Jesus Christ from the dead. He has given
    us new life and hope of sharing life beyond death. Without sin
    and all fleeting things, this inheritance is kept in the heavens for
    you since God’s power shall keep you faithful until salvation is
    revealed in the last day. There is cause for joy, then, even
    though you may, for a time, have to suffer many trials. Thus
    your faith be tested like gold in a furnace. Gold, however, passes
    away but faith, worth so much more, will bring you in the end
    glory and honor when Jesus Christ appears. You have not seen
    Him and yet you love Him; even without seeing Him, you believe
    in Him and experience a heavenly joy beyond all words for you
    are reaching the goal of your faith: the salvation of your souls.
    This was the revelation for which the prophets so eagerly looked
    when, in days past, they foretold the favor of God with regard to
    you. But they could only investigate when the spirit of Christ
    present within them pointed out the time and circumstances of
    the sufferings of Christ and the glories which would follow. It was
    revealed to them that they were working not for themselves but
    for you. Thus, in these days, after the Holy Spirit has been sent
    from heaven, the Gospel’s preachers have taught you these
    mysteries which even the angels long to see.

    SONG IN HIS TIME


    4

    In His time, in His time


    He makes all things beautiful in His time
    Lord, please show me everyday
    As you’re teaching me your way
    That we do just what you say, in Your time.

    In Your time, in Your time


    You make all things beautiful, in Your time
    Lord my life to you I bring
    May each song I have to sing
    Be to you a lovely thing, in Your time.
    (Repeat “Be to you . . .” then fade)

    SONG GOD IS MY REFUGE

    God is my refuge, my trust and my deliverer


    A help close at hand in times of distress

    So I will lift my eyes unto the mountains


    From whence comes my help
    From the Lord enthroned on high
    He is my rock and my salvation
    I’ll stand firm.
    (Repe at from the start)

    READER: The Gospel according to John 11:17-27

    ALL: Glory to you Lord, Jesus Christ.

    When Jesus came, He found that Lazarus had already been in the
    tomb for four days. As Bethany is near Jerusalem, about two
    miles away, many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to offer
    consolation at their brother’s death. When Martha heard that
    Jesus was coming, she went to meet Him, while Mary remained
    sitting at the house. And she said to Jesus, “If you have been
    here, my brother would not have died. But I know that whatever
    you ask from God, God will give you.” Jesus said, “Your brother
    will rise again.” Martha replied, “I know he will rise in the
    resurrection, at the last day.” But Jesus said to her: “I am the
    resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in Me, though he
    should die, will come to life. And whoever is alive and believes in
    me will never die. Do you believe this?” Martha then answered,
    “Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, the
    Son of God, He, who is coming into the world.”

    HOMILY: By the worship leader.

    SONG YOU ARE NEAR

    Refrain Yahweh, I know you are near


    Standing always at my side
    You guard me from the foe
    And you lead me in ways, everlasting

    Lord, you have searched my heart


    And you know when I sit and when I stand
    Your hand is upon me protecting me from death
    Keeping me from harm. (Repeat refrain)

    Where can I run from you love


    If I climb to the heavens you are there
    If I fly to the sunrise or sail beyond the sea
    Still I’d find you there. (Repeat refrain)

    You know my heart and its ways


    You who formed me before I was born
    In the secret of darkness before I saw the sun
    In my mother’s womb. (Repeat refrain)

    Humbly we bow before you to acknowledge that you are the God
    of salvation. We know that apart from you we have no hope.
    Give us the faith and the courage to see beyond the darkness of
    these hours. We ask for sustaining grace to bring calm to these
    troubled hearts and to lift burdens from these weary minds. In
    the presence of death, make us more conscious of the life eternal

    for us, you turn the darkness of death into a dawn of new life.
    Show us compassion to your people in their sorrow. Your Son,
    8

    our Lord Jesus Christ, by dying for us, conquered death and by
    rising again, restored life. May we then go forward eagerly to
    meet Him and after our life on earth be reunited with our
    brothers and sisters where every tear will be wiped away. We
    ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

    LEADER: Let us pray the Lord’s Prayer, Hail Mary and Glory Be.

    May the angels lead you into paradise. May the martyrs
    come to welcome you and take you to the holy city, the new and
    eternal Jerusalem.

    SONG WE BELONG TO YOU

    None of us lives as his own


    And none of us dies as his own
    For a while we live
    We are responsible to God
    And when we die, we die as his servants.

    Refrain For both in life and death, we belong to God


    That is why Christ has died for us and come again
    We shall all appear before the judgment seat of God
    For it is written, “Every knee shall bend before me”
    And every tongue shall give praise to God.

    For we are sure that neither death nor life


    Nor this nor future ages nor their powers
    No height, no depth, no creature that thrives
    Will come between us and the love of Christ. (Refrain)

    Give yourself as sacrifice to God


    Holy and acceptable to the Lord
    Do not allow your minds to be conformed to this age
    But let your hearts be ruled by his spirit. (Refrain)
    9

    Now not all of us shall fall asleep


    Out of all of us are to be changed
    In the twinkling of an eye
    As the last trumpet sounds
    We shall rise victorious in Christ. (Repeat refrain twice)

    LEADER: The memorial service has ended. Let us all be in


    peace. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
    Amen.
