OPENING PRAYER LEADER: Father, you are all-powerful and ever-living God. In your son Jesus Christ, who rose from the dead, our hope of resurrection begins. The sadness of death gives way to the bright promise of immortality. Lord, for your faithful people life is changed, not ended. Merciful Father, hear our prayers and be gracious to us. As we renew our faith in your Son, whom you raised from the dead, strengthen our hope that our beloved Ma’am JEBIN RAMOS Thank you for your sincerest and deepest sympathy! PEROCHE and all our departed brothers and sisters will share in Your resurrection. We ask this through Christ our Lord. ALL: Amen. (Please all be seated.) READER: Brothers and Sisters in Christ, as we continue our prayer service today for Ma’am JEBIN RAMOS PEROCHE, let us hear and reflect from the Letter of St. Paul to the Philippians Chapter 3 Verses 20-21. “For us, our homeland is in heaven, and from heaven comes the savior we are waiting for, the Lord Jesus Christ, and He will transfigure those wretched bodies of ours into copies of His glorious body. He will do that by the same power with which He can subdue the whole universe.” This is the word of the Lord. ALL: Thanks be to God! LEADER: With that heard, from Paul to the Philippians, it assures us that when life ends here, it continues somewhere else. This assurance Thank you for your sincerest and deepest sympathy! hopes to strengthen our faith and believe that the quality of life begins on earth and continues in heaven (Romans 6:4). It has something Jesus gives next to which all other life is not quite life at all, because as He promised, those who believe in Him shall not perish, and the life that He meant is the life we live with faith that we will have eternal life after death. Dear Brothers and Sisters, colleagues and everyone, as we profess our own faith today, let us all pray for all our own intentions that with the hope we hold dear in our heart - as Ma’am JEBIN RAMOS PEROCHE believed that Jesus – Our Lord, is the Light and Salvation, she shall have everlasting life. READER: 1. For our response, please pray: The Lord is my light and my salvation. The Lord is my light and my help; whom shall, I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; before whom shall I shrink? Response: The Lord is my light and my salvation. Thank you for your sincerest and deepest sympathy! 2. There is one thing I ask of the Lord, all the days of my life; To savor the sweetness of the Lord, to behold his temple. Response: The Lord is my light and my salvation. 3. O Lord, hear my voice when I call; have mercy and answer. It is your face, O Lord, that I seek; hide not your face to us who faithfully believe in You; Response: The Lord is my light and my salvation. 4. I am sure I shall see the Lord’s goodness in the land of the living. Hope in him, hold firm and take heart. Hope in the Lord! Response: The Lord is my light and my salvation. LEADER: As we continue, let in our hearts believe how amazing God works for His people. Let us proclaim that we are His faithful people who believe that as we pray together for the eternal repose of the soul of Ma’am JEBIN RAMOS PEROCHE, we also pray for our dearly departed that they also share eternal life with her in heaven. Please all stand. Thank you for your sincerest and deepest sympathy! ACCLAMATION SONG: AMAZING GRACE Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound; That saved a wretch like me I once was lost, but now am found; Was blind, but now I see; 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear, The hour I first believed. Through many dangers, toils and snares We have already come 'Twas grace has brought us READER: safe thus far And grace will lead us home. When we've been there ten thousand years; Bright, shining as the sun We've no less days to sing God's praise Then when we've first begun. Amazing grace, how sweet the sound; That saved a wretch like me; I once was lost, but now I am found; Was blind, but now I see. We are about to listen to a Reading from St. Paul’s Letter to the Romans (Rom 6:3-9) “Are you unaware that we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were indeed buried with him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live in newness of life. Thank you for your sincerest and deepest sympathy! For if we have grown into union with him through a death like his, we shall also be united with him in the resurrection. We know that our old self was crucified with him, so that our sinful body might be done away with, that we might no longer be in slavery to sin. For a dead person has been absolved from sin. If, then, we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him. We know that Christ, raised from the dead, dies no more; death no longer has power over him.” The Word of the Lord. ALL: Thanks be to God! EXHORTATION LEADER: As we profess and proclaim our faith, may we all sing together the Lord’s Prayer Jesus had taught us. COMMUNITY PRAYER: AMAMI INTERCESSIONS LEADER: Lord God, the giver of peace and healer of souls, hear the prayers of the Redeemer, Jesus Christ, and the voices of your people, whose Thank you for your sincerest and deepest sympathy! lives were purchased by the blood of Your Lamb Jesus!
