OPENING SONG How Great Thou Art 1. O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder consider all the worlds Thy hands have made, I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy pow’r throughout the universe displayed!

Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee; How great Thou art, how great Thou art! Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee; How great Thou art, how great thou Art!

2. When through the woods and forest glades I wander and hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees. When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur and hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze. (Refrain)

COLLECT (OPENING PRAYER) Please be seated after the prayer.

L ITURGY OF THE W ORD

FIRST READING – JAMES 1:2-4 Read by Mary Jane Spaht Gill Consider it all joy, my brothers and sisters, when you encounter various trials, for you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. And let perseverance be perfect, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM 23

SECOND READING – ROMANS 5:3-5 Read by Brooke Grindle Not only that, but we even boast of our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance, and endurance, proven character, and proven character, hope, and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the holy Spirit that has been given to us.

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION repeat after the cantor

GOSPEL- JOHN 14:1-6 Jesus said to his disciples: "Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me. In my Father's house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be. Where I am going you know the way." Thomas said to him, "Master, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?" Jesus said to him, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

PRAYER OF COMMENDATION & SONG OF FAREWELL

CLOSING SONG Joyful, Joyful, We Adore You Joyful, joyful, we adore you, God of glory, Lord of love; Hearts unfold like flow'rs before you, Opening to the sun above. Melt the clouds of sin and sadness; Drive the dark of doubt away; Giver of immortal gladness, Fill us with the light of day!

All your works with joy surround you, Earth and heav'n reflect your rays, Stars and angels sing around you, Center of unbroken praise; Field and forest, vale and mountain, Flowery meadow, flashing sea, Chanting bird and flowing fountain, Praising you eternally!

Always giving and forgiving, Ever blessing, ever blest, Wellspring of the joy of living, Ocean depth of happy rest! Loving Father, Christ our brother, Let your light upon us shine; Teach us how to love each other, Lift us to the joy divine.

Music is printed with permission under ONELICENSE A-711604 Dr. Katherine Lindley Spaht Dodson, a proud native of Baton Rouge, and resident of Austin, Texas, died January 26, 2021. Born June 30, 1977, Lindley attended St. James Episcopal Day School and was a 1995 graduate of Episcopal High School of Baton Rouge and a 1999 magna cum laude graduate in chemistry of Washington and Lee University, where she met her husband, Frederick Drew Dodson.

Lindley dedicated her life to helping children. She was a 2003 graduate of Louisiana State University School of Medicine in . She completed her residency in pediatrics at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, later serving as an instructor at Harvard Medical School and as an urgent care physician at Boston Children’s Hospital. Lindley and Drew married in 2006 and moved to Austin in 2007 where she was a pediatric hospitalist at Dell Children’s Medical Center and a faculty member in the Department of Pediatrics at Dell Medical School. She was named Dell Children’s Medical Center’s top pediatric doctor in both 2012 and 2017. She joined Children’s Medical Group in 2017 and was honored to become the practice owner in 2020.

The mark she leaves as a trusted pediatrician to countless Austin families and as a treasured colleague and mentor to the Austin medical community will endure and her generosity and gifts of her time, talent and kind heart will be greatly missed.

While her professional career was remarkable, her family always came first. She taught them to love, laugh and pray every day and be thankful for their many blessings. She also taught them about all things Louisiana, which was always in her heart. She loved festivals and any excuse to wear a costume. She was a diehard LSU Tiger fan and a lifelong ambassador for Mardi Gras, celebrating with king cakes and beads every year.

Lindley was a shining light of compassion, warmth and dedication. She was committed to leading a life of caring for others as evidenced by the way she loved and cared for her family, friends and patients. Accessible, funny, caring, determined, brilliant, and selfless, Lindley had an impact on everyone she met. She was the epitome of beauty, both inside and out. Her laugh, like no other, came easily, and her joyfulness and spirit were infectious. To know her was to love her. And our hearts are forever broken by her absence.

She is survived by her beloved husband Drew and adoring children Shaw, Tucker, and Loretta; her parents, Paul Holden and Katherine Shaw Spaht; her brother Paul Holden Spaht, Jr. and his wife Claire; her brother William Carlos Spaht and his wife Julia; nieces Eliza Spaht, Peyton Spaht, Cappa Spaht, and Virginia Spaht; and nephew Robert Holden Spaht. She is also survived by her aunt, Mary Jane Spaht Gill; her uncle, Carlos Gustave Spaht II and his wife Jan; her uncle William Marshall Shaw, Jr.; cousins John P. Everett III, Mary Elizabeth Omeed, and Midgie Carolyn Spaht; and friends truly beyond measure. Lindley was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, William Marshall Shaw and Jean Craighead Shaw, and paternal grandparents, Judge Carlos Gustav Spaht and Loretta Andrus Spaht.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that the community please consider donating to either the Dr. Lindley Dodson Endowment for Pediatric Care at Dell Children’s Medical Center, or St. Austin Catholic Parish in Austin, TX.
