Readings for Edna Baker’s funeral
The Liturgy of the Word
Reader: A reading from Wisdom (3:1-5, 9)
But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and no torment will ever touch them. In the eyes of the foolish they seemed to have died, and their departure was thought to be a disaster, and their going from us to be their destruction; but they are at peace. For though in the sight of others they were punished, their hope is full of immortality. Having been disciplined a little, they will receive great good, because God tested them and found them worthy of himself; Those who trust in him will understand truth, and the faithful will abide with him in love, because grace and mercy are upon his holy ones, and he watches over his elect.
The Word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God.
Psalm 42
1As the deer longs for the water-brooks, *
so longs my soul for you, O God.
2My soul is athirst for God, athirst for the living God; *
when shall I come to appear before the presence of God?
3My tears have been my food day and night, *
while all day long they say to me, Where now is your God?"
4I pour out my soul when I think on these things; *
how I went with the multitude and led them into the house of God,
5With the voice of praise and thanksgiving, *
among those who keep holy-day.
6Why are you so full of heaviness, O my soul? *
and why are you so disquieted within me?
7Put your trust in God; *
for I will yet give thanks to him, who is the help of my countenance, and my God.
Reader: A reading from Revelation (21:2-7)
And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, ‘See, the home of God is among mortals. He will dwell with them; they will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them; he will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no more, for the first things have passed away.’ And the one who was seated on the throne said, ‘See, I am making all things new.’ Also he said, ‘Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true.’ Then he said to me, ‘It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give water as a gift from the spring of the water of life. Those who conquer will inherit these things, and I will be their God and they will be my children.
