The Legacy Mass of Resurrection

When I die, give what is left of me to children.

If you need to cry,
cry for your brothers walking beside you.
Put your arms around anyone
and give them what you need to give to me.
I want to leave you with something,
something better than words or sounds.
Look for me in people I have known and loved.
And if you cannot live without me, then let me live on
in your eyes, your mind and your act of kindness.
You can love me most by letting hands touch hands
and letting go of children that need to be free.
Love does not die, people do.
So when all that is left of me is love . . .
Give me away . . .

With Gratitude
We would like to express our deepest appreciation for
your thoughtfulness and our sincerest gratitude for
your love, prayers, and support during this difficult
time. You have touched our hearts. Justino Garzon

 OPENING HYMN

RECESSIONAL HYMN ON EAGLES’ WINGS

You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord,

Who abide in His shadow for life,
SONG OF FAREWELL
Say to the Lord, "My Refuge,
My Rock in Whom I trust." (Refrain)
(Refrain)
May the choirs of angels come to greet you
(Refrain)
May they speed you to paradise
And He will raise you up on eagle's wings,
May the Lord enfold you in His mercy
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
May you find eternal life
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His Hand.
The Lord is my light and my help
It is he who protects me from the harm
The snare of the fowler will never capture you,
The Lord is the strength of my days
And famine will bring you no fear;
Before whom shall I tremble with fear (Refrain)
Under His Wings your refuge,
His faithfulness your shield. (Refrain)
There is one thing I ask of the Lord
That He grant me my heart-felt desire
You need not fear the terror of the night,
To dwell in the courts of our God
Nor the arrow that flies by day,
Ev’ry day of my life in His presence (Refrain)
Though thousands fall about you,
Near you it shall not come. (Refrain)
O Lord hear my voice when I cry
Have mercy on me and give answer
For to His angels He's given a command,
Do not cast me away in your anger
To guard you in all of your ways,
For you are the God of my help (Refrain)
Upon their hands they will bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone. (Refrain)
I am sure I shall see the Lord’s goodness
I shall dwell in the land of the living
Hope in God, stand firm, and take heart
Place all your trust in the Lord (Refrain)
INTRODUCTORY RITES
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Spirit.
Amen.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the
fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
And also with you.
SPRINKLING WITH HOLY WATER
In the water of baptism Justino became God’s son together with
Christ. With Christ who died on the cross, may Justino go with
Christ to new life. May he now share with Christ eternal glory.
PLACING OF THE PALL
Justino, when you were baptized, you received the new life of
Jesus and you were given the new dignity which you are now proud
to bring before the Lord. May the Lord smile at you and welcome
you to His eternal life.
OPENING PRAYER
God, to whom mercy and forgiveness belong, hear our prayers on
behalf of your servant Justino, whom you have called out of this
world; and because he put his hope and trust in you, command that
he be carried safely home to heaven and come to enjoy your
eternal reward.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives
and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.
Amen.
FIRST READING
A Reading from the Book of Ecclesiastes
There is an appointed time for everything,
and a time for every affair under the heavens.
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant.
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to tear down, and a time to build.
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance.
CONCLUDING RITE
With faith in Jesus Christ, we must reverently bury the body of
Justino. Let us pray with confidence to God, in whose sight all
creation lives, that He will raise up in holiness and power the mortal
body of our brother and command his soul to be numbered among
the blessed.
May God grant him a merciful judgment, deliverance from
death, and pardon of sin. May Christ the Good Shepherd carry him
home to be at peace with the Father. May he rejoice forever in the
presence of the eternal King and in the company of all the Saints.
SONG OF FAREWELL
(to be recited by all while the coffin is being incensed)
I know that my redeemer lives:
On the last day I shall rise again.
And in my flesh I shall see God.
I shall see Him myself, face to face;
And my own eyes shall behold my Savior.
And in my flesh I shall see God.
Within my heart this hope I cherish:
That in my flesh I shall see God.
And in my flesh I shall see God.
May the angels lead you, Justino, to paradise. May the
martyrs come to welcome you and take you to the holy city, the
new and eternal Jerusalem.
And may Almighty God bless you and all of us.
In the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
In peace let us take Justino to hhis place of rest.

MEDITATION SONG
AVE MARIA
Ave Maria Gratia plena

Benedicta tu in mulieribus, Et benedictus
Et benedictus fructus ventris
Ventris tuae, Jesus. Ave Maria
Ave Maria, Mater Dei
Ora pro nobis peccatoribus Ora pro nobis
Ora, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, Nunc et in hora mortis

PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION
Lord God, may the death and resurrection of Christ which we
celebrate in this Eucharist bring our beloved Justino the peace of
your eternal home. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord.
Amen.
REMARKS OF REMEMBRANCE
A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather them;
A time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces.
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to cast away.
A time to rend, and a time to sew;
A time to be silent, and a time to speak.
A time to love, and a time to hate;
A time of war, and a time of peace.
He has made everything appropriate to its time, and has put the
timeless into their hearts, without men’s ever discovering, from
beginning to end, the work which God has done.
The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
PSALM
The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.
The LORD is my shepherd; there is nothing I lack.
In green pastures you let me graze; to safe waters you lead me;
you restore my strength.
The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.
You guide me along the right path for the sake of your name.
Even when I walk through a dark valley,
fear no harm for you are at my side;
your rod and staff give me courage.
The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.
You set a table before me as my enemies watch;
ou anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.
Only goodness and love will pursue me all the days of my life;
I will dwell in the house of the LORD for years to come.
The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.

SECOND READING Have mercy on us
Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world
A reading from the letter of St. Paul to the Romans Have mercy on us
Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world
Brothers and sisters: Grant us peace
If God is for us, who can be against us? He did not spare his
own Son but handed him over for us all, will he not also give us
everything else along with him? Who will bring a charge against
God’s chosen ones? It is God who acquits us. Who will condemn?
It is Christ Jesus who died, rather, was raised, who also is at the This is the Lord Jesus, the Lamb of God who takes away the
right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us. What will separate sins of the world. Happy are those who are called to his supper.

or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or the sword? and I shall be healed.
No, in all these things, we conquer overwhelmingly through him
who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor
angels, nor principalities, nor present things, nor future things, nor
powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature will be able to COMMUNION HYMN

Praise to you, Lord, Jesus Christ.

Through Him, with Him, in Him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all
glory and honor is yours Almighty Father, forever and ever.
Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen. . .
Jesus taught us to call God our Father, and so we have the
courage to sing:
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 from every evil, and grant us peace in our day.
In your mercy keep us free from sin and protect us from all anxiety
as we wait in joyful hope for the coming of our Savior Jesus Christ.
For the Kingdom, the power and the glory are yours, now
and forever. Amen.
Lord Jesus Christ, you said to your apostles: “I leave you
peace, my peace I give you.” Look not on our sins but on the faith
of your Church, and grant us the peace and unity of your kingdom,
where you live forever and ever.
Amen.
The peace of the Lord be always with you.
And also with you.
Let us offer each other the sign of peace.
