touched lives from great to small, he had a gift of bringing
people together, he was thoughtful to a fault, instinctively
knowing how to help. He loved helping people. Wherever he

this was said long after Dad retired from the UN.

COMMUNION RITE

Wisdom 3: 16

RESPONSORIAL PSALM
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want

In the Catholic Church tradition, the Eucharist (Mass) is the ritual in

which we offer worship, praise, and thanksgiving to GOD for the
gift of life which has just now been returned to God, the author of
life. In the Eucharistic Prayer, we ask the Holy Spirit to change the
elements of bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ.
