During the five years I've been in Denn we had 71 funerals which would be more than I ever had in a similar times span. I wish to thanks all those who cooperated in creating a situation where they vacated their weekend family anniversary and moved to a week day and by doing so enabled those bereaved families to have their months memory mass at the weekend where they had a full congregation to help them through the grieving process.

Hymn

This is the day, this is the day.                This is the day that the Lord has made.

That the Lord has made,                         We will rejoice and be glad in it.

That the Lord has made.                             This is the day, this is the day.

We will rejoice, We will rejoice,                 That the Lord has made.

And be glad in it, and be glad in it.

Offertory:

Be still for the presence of the Lord.       Be still for the glory of the Lord

The Holy One is here.                             Is shining all around.

Come bow before Him now                        He burns with holy fire.

With reverence and fear.                                    With splendor he is crowned.

In him no sin is found.                              How awesome is the sight.

We stand on holy ground.                         Our radiant King of light.

Be still for the presence of the Lord       Be still the glory of the Lord

The Holy one is here                               Is shining all around..

Communion

Lay your hands gently upon us,                    You were sent to free the broken hearted.

Let their touch render your peace,           You were sent to give sight to the blind.  

Let them bring your forgiveness and         You desire to heal all our illness.              

healing,  Lay your hands gently                  Lay your hands, gently lay your hands.

Lay your hands

As I Knee before you.         Chorus -

As I kneel before you,                 Ave Maria.                          All I have I give you,

As I bow my head in prayer,        Gratia plena,                     Every dream and wish are yours,

Take this day, make it yours                       Dominus tecum.                 Mother of Christ, Mother of mine,

and fill me with your love.           Benedicta tu.                      Present them to my Lord.

Amazing Grace:

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound          T’was grace that taught my heart to fear,

that saved a wretch like me.                      and grace my fears relieved.

I once was lost but now I’m found,                          How precious did that grace appear

was blind, but now I see.                            the hour I first believed
