We picture death as coming to
destroy; Let us rather see it
as Christ coming to serve.We think of
death as ending; Rather think of it
as a new life beginning.We think of
it as losing; Rather let us think of
it as winning a final victory.We think
of death as parting; Rather think of
it as meeting of love ones.We think
of death as going away; Rather think
of it as arriving home at last.
Death is not extinguishing the
light….
It is putting out the lamp
because the day,the eternal day has
dawn.

ALL: Lord/ help us to see death

for what it truly is/ the end of
poverty and thebeginning of
riches/ the end of frustration
and the beginning of fulfillment/
theend of fear and the beginning
of peace/ the end of weakness
and the beginningof strength/ the
end of pains and hurts and the
beginning of joy and love.O Lord
Jesus/ whose rich and
unforgettable life/ was lived in
the faith/ that thelove which
surrounds us/ is a real dependable
as that of a father/ let the
samesense of trust and hope
steady us at this time.Let not grief
overwhelm us/ or a sense of loss
embitter us/ but out of
oursadness/ let there arise a new
joy for so much given to us.Help
us to see/ that what we love
becomes a part of us/ interfused
within ourlives/ blended with
mind and memory/ hollowed
forever within our soul/ let
nottake away our hope. Or
bereavement blind us/ to what
always remains good andlovely
and indestructible.O gracious
Spirit of Peace/ come alive within
our experience and hurt/ within
oursorrow and isolation/ within
the sadness of today and the
loneliness oftomorrow/come alive
as the peace and trust/ which
nothing in life or death cankill.
Cast out our fears/ and let not our
hearts be troubled/ knowing that
thisworld remains
our Father’s
house.
Leader: O God our Father/ from
whom we came and to whom we
return/ let usbe convinced by
the sight of earth/ that is only
the body which dies
andcorrupts/ but the more
important half of a person/ his
spirit and soul/ bywhich he
thinks and loves/ is not touched
by death/ but transfer to a new
andendless life beyond the
grave. So now/ O Lord/ help us
believe that
ourbeloved________/
is indeed just “departed” to
a better world/ where at this
moment he/she is alive/ is
conscious and full of love for
each of us/ and awaitsour
coming one by one!
ALL: Farewell dear TATAY.
Pray for us as we pray for you.
Until we are togetheragain and
home at last!
In the name of the Father/ and
of the Son/ and of the Holy
Spirit/
