P. 3
Collect
Lord our God, the death of our brothers and sisters recalls our
human condition and the brevity of our lives on earth. But for
those who believe in your love death is not the end, nor does it
destroy the bonds that you forge in our lives. We share the
faith of your Son’s disciples and the hope of the children of
God. Bring the light of Christ’s resurrection on this time of
testing and pain as we pray for all who have died and for those
who love them, through Christ our Lord.
R. Amen
First Reading (Proclaimed in English) Isaiah 25: 6a, 7-9
A Reading from the Book of the 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.
