First Reading Book of Wisdom 3:1-9

He accepted them as a holocaust.

The souls of the just are in the hand of God, and no torment shall touch them.

They seemed, in the view of the foolish, to be dead;and their passing away was thought an afflictionand their going forth from us, utter destruction.

But they are in peace.For if before men, indeed, they be punished,

yet is their hope full of immortality;Chastised a little, they shall be greatly blessed,

because God tried themand found them worthy of himself.

As gold in the furnace, he proved them,and as sacrificial offerings he took them to himself.

In the time of their visitation they shall shine,and shall dart about as sparks through stubble;

They shall judge nations and rule over peoples,and the Lord shall be their King forever.

Those who trust in him shall understand truth,and the faithful shall abide with him in love:

Because grace and mercy are with his holy ones,and his care is with his elect.

V. Verbum Domini.R. Deo Gratias.

The Lord is my shepherd, CHOIR & PEOPLE

Rev. Scott A. Haynes, S.J.C.

R. The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. In verdant pastures he gives me repose;

Beside restful waters he leads me;he refreshes my soul. R.

He guides me in right pathsfor his name’s sake.

Even though I walk in the dark valley I fear no evil; for you are at my side

With your rod and your staffthat give me courage. R.

You spread the table before me in the sight of my foes;

You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. R.

Only goodness and kindness follow me all the days of my life;

And I shall dwell in the house of the Lordfor years to come. R.

Second Reading 1 John 3:1-2

We shall see God as he really is.

Beloved:See what love the Father has bestowed on us that we may be called the children of God. Yet so we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God’s children now; what we shall be has not yet been revealed. We do know that when it is revealed we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

Gospel Reading John 6:51-58

V. Dominus vobiscum.R. Et cum spiritu tuo.

V. Lectio sancti Evangelii secundum Ioannem.R. Gloria tibi, Domine.

All who eat this bread will live for ever: and I will raise themup on the last day.

Jesus said to the crowd:“I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my Flesh for the life of the world.’’The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his Flesh to eat?” Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the Flesh of the Son of Man and drink his Blood, you do not have life within you. Whoever eats my Flesh and drinks my Blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my Flesh is true food, and my Blood is true drink. Whoever eats my Flesh and drinks my Blood remains in me and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live for ever.”

V. Verbum Domini.R. Deo Gratias.

Divine Child Jesus, we commend to You our beloved Mother Angelica whom Youhave called from this life.

You chose her to do many great works in this life. You asked her to build You atemple. With Your help, she built this temple and dedicated it to You, DivineChild Jesus.

Remember her love for You while on earth. Remember her efforts in trying to lead many souls to love You, to know the truth, and to see and appreciate thebeauty of Your Catholic Church. Remember her many sufferings in this life which she united with Your own for the salvation and sanctification of herself and so many souls.

Forgive all of her sins, the good she did poorly, and the good she failed to do. Wecommend to You her body and soul. O Divine Child Jesus, lead her joyfully to the Father’s House, the Eternal Temple of the Heavenly Jerusalem. We ask all thisthrough Our Lady’s powerful intercession and in Your Holy Name, Jesus, who liveand reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, Lord, forever and ever. Amen.
