St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church 18 Woodlawn Avenue | Joliet, Illinois Rev. Fr. Patrick J. Lee, Officiating

Prayer of St. Francis Lord, make me an instrument of your peace: where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy.

O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Amen.

Processional Hymn…………………………………...“Here I Am, Lord” The Blessing and Placing of the Pall Opening Prayer First Reading A Reading from the Psalm of David The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I lack. In green pastures he makes me lie down; to still waters he leads me; he restores my soul. He guides me along right paths for the sake of his name. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff comfort me. You set a table before me in front of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

Indeed, goodness and mercy will pursue me all the days of my life; I will dwell in the house of the Lord for endless days.

The Word of the Lord……………….......................…..Thanks Be To God. Responsorial Psalm…………….......................“The Lord Is My Shepherd” Second Reading A Reading from the Letter of Paul to the Thessalonians We do not want you to be unaware, brothers, 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, with the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God, will come down from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, 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.……………………….....................Thanks Be To God.

Gospel Acclamation……...................................................................Alleluia The Gospel Reading….. ………………………………....... Fr. Patrick Lee A Reading from the Holy Gospel of John “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me. In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be. Where I am going you know the way.” Thomas said to him, “Master, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

The Gospel of the Lord..................................Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ.

Interment Resurrection Mausoleum Romeoville, Illinois

“To Those I Love And Those Who Love Me” When I am gone, release me, let me go.

I have so many things to see and do, You mustn’t tie yourself to me with too many tears, But be thankful we had so many good years.

I gave you my love, and you can only guess How much you’ve given me in happiness.

I thank you for the love that you have shown, But now it is time I traveled on alone.

So grieve for me a while, if grieve you must, Then let your grief be comforted by trust.

It is only for a while that we must part, So treasure the memories within your heart.

I won’t be far away for life goes on.

And if you need me, call and I will come.

Though you can’t see or touch me, I will be near.

And if you listen with your heart, you’ll hear, All my love around you soft and clear.

And then, when you come this way alone, I’ll greet you with a smile and a ‘Welcome Home’.

God saw she was getting tired and a cure was not to be, so He put His arms around her and whispered, “Come with Me.”

With tearful eyes we watched her suffer and saw her fade away.

Although we loved her dearly, we could not make her stay.

A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands now rest.

God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
