Opening Prayer
Archbishop:
Let us pray.
Grant, we pray, almighty God,
that the soul of your departed servant,
Archbishop Philip Edward,
to whom you committed the
care of your family, may,
with the manifold fruit of his labours,
enter into the eternal gladness of his Lord.
Who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
One God, for ever and ever.
All:Amen.
Liturgy of the Word
First Reading
Read by Pauline Connelly
Isaiah 43:1-3a, 5a
But now thus says the Lord,
he who created you,
O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel:
do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by name, you are mine.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,
and the flame shall not consume you.
For I am the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour.
Do not fear, for I am with you.
The Word of the Lord.
All:
Thanks be to God.
