<p> Funeral for Dr. Peter A.F. Morrin</p><p>1st Reading – A reading from the book of Wisdom</p><p>The virtuous man, though he dies before his time, will find rest. Length of days is not what makes age honourable, Nor number of years the true measure of life; Understanding, this is man’s grey hairs, Untarnished life, this is ripe old age.</p><p>He has sought to please God, So God has loved him.</p><p>Coming to perfection in so short a while, He achieved long life; His soul being pleasing to the Lord, He has taken them quickly from the wickedness around him.</p><p>Yet people look on, uncomprehending; It does not enter their heads That grace and mercy await the chosen of the Lord.</p><p>0ce865555c0df2a2c1d285c7e22a4216.doc Page 1/3 Printed 4/4/2018 at 12:20 AM Funeral for Dr. Peter A.F. Morrin</p><p>Responsorial Psalm - The Lord is compassion and love</p><p>The Lord is compassion and love, Slow to anger and rich in mercy.</p><p>The Lord is compassion and love, Slow to anger and rich in mercy. He does not treat us according to our sins, Nor repay us according to our faults. </p><p>As a father has compassion on his sons, The Lord has pity on those who fear Him. For He knows of what we are made, He remembers that we are dust. </p><p>As for man, his days are like grass; He flowers like the flower of the field; The wind blows and he is gone And his place never sees him again. </p><p>But the love of the Lord is everlasting Upon those who hold Him in fear; His justice reaches out to children’s children When they keep His covenant in truth, When they keep His will in their mind.</p><p>0ce865555c0df2a2c1d285c7e22a4216.doc Page 2/3 Printed 4/4/2018 at 12:20 AM Funeral for Dr. Peter A.F.
