LITURGY OF THE WORD FIRST READING Wisdom 3: 1-9

The souls of the righteous 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 affliction and their going forth from us, utter destruction. But they are in peace. For if to others, indeed, they seem punished, yet is their hope full of immortality; Chastised a little, they shall be greatly blessed, because God tried them and 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 judgment they shall shine and 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 the elect.

The word of the Lord. ALL: Thanks be to God. RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 23

SECOND READING 2 Timothy 4: 6-8

For I am already being poured out like a libation, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have competed well; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith. From now on the crown of righteousness awaits me, which the Lord, the just judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me, but to all who have longed for his appearance.

The word of the Lord. ALL: Thanks be to God. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION

GOSPEL John 11: 17-27 The Lord be with you. ALL: And with your spirit. A reading from the holy Gospel according to John. ALL: Glory to you, O Lord. When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days. Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, only about two miles away. And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them about their brother. When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him; but Mary sat at home. Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. [But] even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.” The Gospel of the Lord. ALL: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. HOMILY

UNIVERSAL PRAYERS ….we pray to the Lord. ALL: Lord, hear our prayer.

COMMUNION RITE THE LORD’S PRAYER At the Savior’s command and formed by divine teaching, we dare to say: ALL: Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come;

Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil, graciously grant peace in our days, that, by the help of your mercy, we may be always free from sin and safe from all distress, as we await the blessed hope and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ. ALL: For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours now and for ever. Lord Jesus Christ, who said to your Apostles; Peace I leave you, my peace I give you, look not on our sins, but on the faith of your Church, and graciously grant her peace and unity in accordance with your will. Who live and reign for ever and ever. ALL: Amen. SIGN OF PEACE The Lord be with you. ALL: And with your spirit. LAMB OF GOD

Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who takes away the sins of the world. Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb. ALL: Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.

Rosemary Sarkis, 90, died peacefully on June 29, 2020 at a local hospital. She was born on March 14, 1930 in Green Bay to the late George and Hildegard (Beth) Burckle. Rosemary graduated from East High School. On June 19, 1948 she married George Sarkis at St. Francis Xavier Cathedral, where she was also baptized and attended grade school. George preceded her in death on March 7, 2017. Rosemary had many interests. She was a former manager at The Chocolate Chicken in Door County. After trial and error she perfected her own gourmet fudge. If you were ever fortunate enough to taste it you would never forget it. Rosemary was a gifted seamstress-she made the dresses for her daughter's wedding. She also enjoyed quilting, embroidery, crocheting and knitting. She owned a shop, The Crafty Lady, in Door County. Rosemary loved to cook. She especially enjoyed creating new versions of old recipes-usually with a secret ingredient. There was never a shortage of friends willing to taste test her creations. In the age of collectibles, she was a star-known for her doll collection. She always enjoyed shopping and trips to the casino. Rosemary was a loyal Packer fan-greatly missing her favorite, Jordy Nelson, when he left. Rosemary made friends easily. She was a natural leader and was tireless in her efforts to make life better and easier for her friends and the people around her. Well known for her generosity to many causes, she was particularly dedicated to those whose mission was to improve the lives of children. She was one of those rare souls-truly young at heart. She is survived by her four children: Mary Olson (Ken) of Pulaski; Annette DeNamur (Dean) of Bellevue; Carolyn Sarkis (Sook) of New York City; David Sarkis (Suzanne) of Hernandez Beach, FL; daughter in law Megan Sarkis of Door County; grandchildren: Adam, Carly, Madeline Sarkis; Kathy and Richard Reed; Josh, Jeremy, Justin Berken; Emily Jacobson; 9 great grandchildren; nieces and nephews and sister in law Evelyn Burckle. In addition to her parents and husband, Rosemary was preceded in death by her daughter, Christine Sarkis; her son, James Sarkis; twin daughters, Karen and Kathleen; sister, Beth Bluma; brothers: Lloyd, Robert and Clayton Burckle; sister in law, Audrey Burckle. Entombment will take place at Allouez Catholic Cemetery & Mausoleum. To leave an online condolence please visit www.newcomergreenbay.com.
