Our Parish Memorial Mass

in Memory of Pope John Paul II

was celebrated on

Thursday, April 7, 2005

at 7:00p.m.

in Our Lady of the Lakes Church.

 

Parishioners, family members and friends attended this

 special liturgy in loving memory and in honor of Pope John Paul II.

 

For everything there is an appointed season,

and a time for everything under heaven:

a time for sharing, a time for caring,

a time for loving, a time for giving,

a time for remembering, a time for parting.

You have made everything beautiful in its time

for everything You do remains forever.

 

God our Father,

you reward all who believe in you.

May your servant, John Paul II our Pope,

Vicar of Peter, and shepherd of Your Church,

who faithfully administered the mysteries

of Your forgiveness and love on earth,

rejoice with You forever in Heaven. 

We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Amen.

Prayer from

The Roman Sacramentary

 

Happy are those who die in the Lord! 

Happy indeed, the Spirit says:

now they can rest forever after their work,

since their good deeds go with them.

Revelation 14:13

 

May the angles take you into paradise:

may the martyrs come to welcome you on your way,

and lead you into the holy city, Jerusalem.

May the choir of angels welcome you,

and with Lazarus who once was poor,

 may you have everlasting rest.

Antiphon

 

Let Us Pray

O God, who gave to your servant,

Pope John Paul II

by his sacerdotal office,

a share in the priesthood of the apostles,

grant, we implore,

that he may also be one of their company

forever in heaven.

Through Christ Our Lord.

Amen.
