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. Danilo Dominguez

OPENING HYMN
AMAZING GRACE
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found, Was blind, but now, I see.
T'was Grace that taught... my heart to fear.And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear...the hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares... we have already come.
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far... and Grace will lead us home.
The Lord has promised good to me... His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be... as long as life endures.
When we've been here a thousand years... bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise... then when we've first begun.
"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found, Was blind, but now, I see

you to His eternal life.

world; and because he put his hope and trust in you, command that

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.

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.
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.
PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION
Lord God, may the death and resurrection of Christ which we
celebrate in this Eucharist bring our beloved Danilo the peace of
your eternal home. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord.
Amen.
REMARKS OF REMEMBRANCE
CONCLUDING RITE
With faith in Jesus Christ, we must reverently bury the body of
Danilo. 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.
COMMUNION HYMN
WE REMEMBER
(Refrain)
We remember how you loved us
To your death and still we celebrate
For you are with us here
And we believe that we will see you
When you come, in your glory Lord
We remember, we celebrate, we believe.
Here a million wounded souls
Are yearning just to touch you and be healed
Gather all your people, and hold them to your heart. (Refrain)
Now we recreate your love,
To bring the bread and wine to share a meal
Sign of grace and mercy, the presence of the Lord. (Refrain)
Christ, the Father’s great “amen”
To all the hopes and dreams of every heart
Peace beyond all telling, and freedom from all fear. (Refrain)
MEDITATION SONG
AVE MARIA
Ave Maria Gratia plena
Maria, gratia plena, Maria, gratia plena
Ave, ave dominus, Dominus tecum
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
Et in hora mortis nostrae, Et in hora mortis nostrae
Et in hora mortis nostrae, Ave Maria
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
A reading from the letter of St. Paul to the Romans
Brothers and sisters:
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
right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us. What will separate
us from the love of Christ? Will anguish, or distress or persecution,
or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or the sword?
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
separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God
GOSPEL
The Lord be with you.
And also with you.
A reading from the holy Gospel according to John.
Glory to you, Lord.
“Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and I will
not reject anyone who comes to me, because I came down from
heaven not to do my own will but the will of the one who sent me.
And this is the will of the one who sent me, that I should not lose
anything of what he gave me, but that I should raise it (on) the last
day. For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the
Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I shall raise him
(on) the last day.”
The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord, Jesus Christ.
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.
Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world
Have mercy on us
Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world
Have mercy on us
Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world
Grant us peace
This is the Lord Jesus, the Lamb of God who takes away the
sins of the world. Happy are those who are called to his supper.
Lord, I am not worthy to receive you, but only say the word
and I shall be healed.

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord
God of power and might
Heaven and earth are full of your glory
Hosanna in the Highest
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest. Hosanna in the highest.
Hosanna, Hosanna on high.
Let us proclaim the mystery of faith.
Christ has died
Christ has risen
Christ will come again.
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.
HOMILY
PRAYERS OF THE FAITHFUL

sits at the right hand of the Father where he intercedes for his

Many friends and members of our families have gone before us
and await the kingdom. Grant them an everlasting home with
your Son.

refreshment, rest, and peace to all whose faith is known to you

Lord, in your mercy: Hear our prayer.

Lord God, giver of peace and healer of souls, hear the prayers
of the Redeemer, Jesus Christ, and the voices of your people,
whose lives were purchased by the blood of the Lamb. Forgive the
sins of all who sleep in Christ and grant them a place in the
kingdom. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
OFFERTORY HYMN
ON EAGLES’ WINGS
You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord,
Who abide in His shadow for life,
Say to the Lord, "My Refuge,
My Rock in Whom I trust." (Refrain)
(Refrain)
And He will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His Hand.
The snare of the fowler will never capture you,
And famine will bring you no fear;
Under His Wings your refuge,
His faithfulness your shield. (Refrain)
You need not fear the terror of the night,
Nor the arrow that flies by day,
Though thousands fall about you,
Near you it shall not come. (Refrain)
For to His angels He's given a command,
To guard you in all of your ways,
Upon their hands they will bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone. (Refrain)
Blessed are You, Lord God of all creation. Through Your
goodness we have this bread to offer, which earth has given and
human hands have made. It will become for us the bread of life.
Blessed be God, forever.
Blessed are You, Lord God of all creation. Through Your
goodness we have this wine to offer, fruit of the vine and work of
human hands. It will become our spiritual drink.
Blessed be God, forever.
Lord God, we ask you to receive us and be pleased with the
sacrifice we offer you with humble and contrite hearts.
Pray brethren that our sacrifice may be acceptable to God our
Almighty Father.
May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands, for the
praise and glory of his name, for our good and the good of all
his Church.
PRAYER OVER THE GIFTS
Lord, with all humility we bring this offering. Let this be a
