Marvin was taken home tonight. May God grant his soul a place of refreshment, peace and joy in the light of His Savior's face until the glorious day of the resurrection of all flesh. Into his body went the undying body and blood of the Son of God, giving the promise of forgiveness of all sins. He received the Holy Eucharist for the last time in this world on Monday. Both yesterday and today, I prayed with him and his wife the Commendation of the Dying, truly one of the Church's most comforting and beautiful liturgies.
Over his body tonight we sang our alleluias:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
The strife is o'er, the battle done.
Now is the Victor's triumph won.
Now be the song of praise begun.
Alleluia!
May God comfort all Marvin's family with the rich promises of His Word!
