Celebrant: Rev. Father Eddie Condra ENTRANCE HYMN HOW GREAT THOU ART O Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder Consider all the works Thy hand hath made, I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder, Thy power throughout the universe displayed, Then sings my soul, my Saviour God toThee; How Great Thou art, how great Thou art! Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee; How great Thou art, how great Thou art! When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart! Then I shall bow in humble adoration; And there proclaim, My God, how great Thou art! Whakaaria mai tou Ripeka ki a au; Tiaho mai ra roto i te po: Ki kona au titiro atu ai: Ora, mate, hei a au koe noho ai. WELCOME Bernie EULOGY Christine, Kath and Jo PHOTO REFLECTION ‘My Donald’ – Angeline Conaghan GATHERING PRAYER Fr. Eddie Condra READING “Ecclesiastes 3: ‘The Circle of Love’ Read by - Peter Saywell PSALM THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD The Lord is my Shepherd and I want to follow Wherever he leads me, wherever he goes. Over the mountains, the waters and byways, Valleys and highways he’s waiting for me. I want to go to meet him there, To lay myself down in his love. The Lord is my shepherd and I want to follow Wherever he leads me, wherever he goes. And while on the journey to where we are going He promised to be there to help us along, And over the mountains we’ll walk on together, To know all the wonders he’s given to me. GOSPEL Luke 1 : 39-56 - ‘The Visitation’ HOMILY Fr. Eddie Condra PRAYERS OF FAITHFUL Margaret’s Grandchildren OFFERTORY HYMN COME TO THE WATER: Come to the Water! You who are thirsty! Though you have nothing, I bid you come! And be filled with the goodness, I have to offer! Come! Listen! Live! Why spend your money on what cannot fill The emptiness deep in your heart? Listen to my word and you will enjoy: goodness and peace in your heart. Just as the heavens are high above earth; My ways and thoughts beyond you; Call me your Father and know I am near! I will be Father to you! Just as the rain falls to water the earth; Just as the seed becomes bread… My word upon you can never return Until My longing is filled! OFFERTORY GIFTS Margaret’s Great grandchildren COMMUNION FINAL PRAYERS AND COMMENDATION May the road rise up to meet you May the wind be always at your back May the sun shine warm upon your face The rains fall soft upon your fields And, until we meet again, May God hold you in he palm of His hand.
