Fr: Lord,
in our grief we call upon your mercy:

open your ears to our prayers,

and one day unite us again with Frank, who, we firmly trust,

already enjoys eternal life in your kingdom.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
 All: Amen.

FIRST READING
(Isaiah 25: 6-9)
Alissa Maiolo
A reading from the book of prophet Isaiah.
On this mountain the Lord of hosts will provide for all peoples. On
this mountain he will destroy the veil that veils all peoples, the web
that is woven over all nations; he will destroy death forever. The
Lord God will wipe away the tears from all faces; the reproach of his
people he will remove from the whole earth; for the Lord has spoken.
On that day it will be said: “Behold our God, to whom we looked to
save us! This is the Lord for whom we looked; let us rejoice and be
glad that he has saved us!”
The Word of the Lord.
All:
Thanks be to God.
