Please remember +Tom Kalil of Holy Transfiguration Melkite Church in Falls Church, VA who passed away earlier this week from Covid-19 at the age of 68. He was the author of a fictional book I published titled "When Snoopy Met Scrooge", the father-in-law of Fr. Sebastian Carnazzo of St Elias Melkite Church in San Jose, CA, the father of four daughters and the grandfather of 13 grandchildren. He was a faith-filled person who had amazing insights into scripture, especially the Old Testament. Please remember him and his family in your prayers. Eternal Memory!

O God of all spiritual and corporeal beings, You Who trampled death, broke the power of Satan and granted life to the whole world, now, O Lord, grant rest to the soul of Your departed servant, Tom, in a place of light, freshness, and peace, where there is neither pain, nor sorrow, nor mourning, but only life everlasting.
As You are a gracious God and the Lover of mankind, forgive him every transgression committed by him in word, thought, or deed, since there is no man alive who has not sinned, for You alone are without sin and You are the Resurrection and the Life, O Christ our God, and we render glory to You, together with Your Eternal Father, and Your most Holy, gracious, and life-giving Spirit, now and always and forever.
May his memory be eternal and may his loved ones be comforted in the prayerful expectation of being reunited with him in Heaven.
