A READING FROM ST. PAUL. "HOPE DOES NOT DISAPPOINT, BECAUSE THE LOVE OF GOD HAS BEEN POURED OUT INTO THE HOLY SPIRIT WHICH HAS BEEN GIVEN TO US. FOR CHRIST, WHILE WE WERE HELPLESS, YET DIED AT THE APPOINTED TIME FOR THE UNGODLY. INDEED, ONLY WITH DIFFICULTY DOES ONE DIE AS A JUST PERSON. PERHAPS, FOR A GOOD PERSON ONE MIGHT EVEN FIND THE COURAGE TO DIE HEARD. GOD PROVED HIS LOVE FOR US. AS CHRIST DIED FOR US. HOW MUCH MORE THAN, SINCE WE ARE NOW JUSTIFIED BY HIS BLOOD, WILL WE BE SAVED BY HIM FROM THE LAUGH -- ROUGH. WHILE WE WERE ENEMIES, WE WERE RECONCILED TO GOD. HOW MUCH MORE, ONCE RECONCILED, WILL WE BE SAVED BY HIS LIFE. NOT ONLY THAT. WE ALSO BOAST OF GOD THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THROUGH WHOM WE HAVE RECEIVED RECONCILIATION.

OF YOUR REVENUES AND EXCELLENCY. BISHOP HIGGINS, MY BROTHER PRIEST, DEACONS, GUESTS. DEAR FRIENDS AND FAITHFUL GATHERED. ON BEHALF OF MY BROTHER AND THE ENTIRE FAMILY, WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENCE HERE, FOR YOUR WORDS OF CONSOLATION. AND FOR THE PRAYER AND MASS YOU HAVE OFFERED AT THE DEATH OF OUR FATHER. IN PARTICULAR I THINK CARDINAL WORLD FOR REACHING OUT TO CONSOLE OUR MOTHER. IT WAS A CONSOLATION TO HER AND TO US. THANK YOU ALSO FOR ALLOWING US TO HAVE THIS PARISH FUNERAL MASS HERE IN THE BASILICA DEDICATED TO OUR LADY. WHAT A GREAT CONSOLATION WHERE WE WERE ABLE TO BRING HER FATHER THROUGH THE HOLY DOORS AND GAINED THOSE ENTERED IN FAITH. I THINK THE BISHOP OF ARLINGTON. A SHEPHERD OUR FATHER LIKED AND RESPECTED A GREAT DEAL. THANK YOU BISHOP FOR OUR VISIT. FOR YOUR WORDS OF CONSOLATION, FOR YOUR PRAYERS. THE FAMILY WILL DEPART FOR A PRIVATE BURIAL IMMEDIATELY AFTER MASS. THEY WILL NOT HAVE TIME TO VISIT. I WANT TO EXPRESS OUR THANKS AT THIS TIME. I WANT YOU TO KNOW OUR PROFOUND APPRECIATION AND THANKS. YOU'LL NOTICE THAT IN THE PROGRAM, WE HAVE A MEMORIAL HELD ON MARCH 1. WE HOPE TO SEE MANY OF YOU THERE. WE PRAY THAT THE WORLD WILL REWARD YOUR GREAT GOODNESS TO US. WE ARE GATHERED HERE BECAUSE OF ONE MAN. A MAN KNOWN PERSONALLY TOO MANY OF US. KNOWN ONLY HIGH REPUTATION TO EVEN MORE. A MAN LOVED BY MANY. SCORNED BY OTHERS. A MAN KNOWN FOR GREAT CONTROVERSY. AND FOR GREAT COMPASSION. THAT MAN, OF COURSE, IS JESUS OF NAZARETH. IT IS HE WHOM WE PROCLAIM. JESUS CHRIST, SON OF THE FATHER, CRUCIFIED, BURIED, RISEN, SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER. IT IS BECAUSE OF HIM, BECAUSE OF HIS LIFE, DEATH, AND RESURRECTION THAT WE DO NOT MOURN, BUT IN CONFIDENCE WE COMMEND ANTONIN SCALIA. JESUS CHRIST THE SAME YESTERDAY TODAY AND FOREVER. THAT SETS A GOOD COURSE FOR OUR FATHER -- THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS HERE TODAY. IN EFFECT, WE LOOK IN THREE DIRECTIONS. TWO YESTERDAY AND THANKSGIVING, TO TODAY AND PETITION, AND INTO ETERNITY WITH HOPE. WE LOOK TO JESUS CHRIST YESTERDAY, AND THANKSGIVING FOR THE BLESSINGS GOD BESTOWED UPON THAT. IN THE PAST WEEK, MANY HAVE RECOUNTED WANT DAD DID FOR THEM. BUT HERE, TODAY, WE RECOUNT WHAT GOD DID FOR DAD, HOW HE BLESSED HIM. WE GIVE THANKS FIRST OF ALL FOR THE ATONING DEATH AND LIFE-GIVING RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST. OUR LORD DIED AND ROSE NOT ONLY FOR ALL OF US, BUT ALSO FOR EACH OF US. AT THIS TIME, WE LOOK TO THAT YESTERDAY OF HIS DEATH AND RESURRECTION. WE GIVE THANKS THAT HE DIED AND ROSE FOR DAD. FURTHER, BEGIN THANKS THAT JESUS BROUGHT HIM TO AND BACK IS HIM. NURSED HIM WITH THE EUCHARIST. AND HEALED HIM IN THE CONFESSIONAL. WE GIVE THANKS THAT JESUS BESTOWED UPON HIM 55 YEARS OF MARRIAGE. TO THE WOMAN HE LOVED. A WOMAN WHO COULD MATCH HIM AT EVERY STEP. AND, EVEN HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE. GOD BLESS DAD WITH A DEEP CATHOLIC FAITH. THE CONVICTION THAT CHRIST'S PRESENCE AND POWER CONTINUES IN THE WORLD TODAY THROUGH HIS BODY, THE CHURCH. HE LOVED THE CLARITY AND COHERENCE OF CHURCH TEACHINGS. HE TREASURE THE CHURCH'S CEREMONY. ESPECIALLY THE BEAUTY OF THE INTO WORSHIP. HE TRUSTED THE POWER OF SACRAMENTS AS A MEANS OF SALVATION. AS CHRIST WORKING WITHIN HIM FOR HIS SALVATION. ALTHOUGH, ALTHOUGH, ONE TIME, ONE SATURDAY AFTERNOON, HE DID SCOLD ME FOR HAVING HEARD CONFESSIONS THAT AFTERNOON, THAT SAME DAY. I HOPE THAT IS SOME SOURCE OF CONSOLATION IF THERE ARE ANY LAWYERS PRESENT, THAT THE ROMAN COLLAR WAS NOT A SHIELD AGAINST HIS CRITICISM. THE ISSUE THAT EVENING WAS NOT THAT I HAD BEEN HEARING CONFESSIONS, BUT THAT HE HAD FOUND HIMSELF IN MY CONFESSIONAL LINE. HE QUICKLY DEPARTED IT. AS HE PUT IT LATER, I WOULD NOT BE CONFESSING TO YOU. THE FEELING WAS MUTUAL. GOD BLESS DAD, AS IS WELL KNOWN WITH A LOVE FOR HIS COUNTRY. HE KNEW WELL WHAT A CLOSE RUN THING THE FOUNDING OF OUR NATION WAS. AND, HE SAW IN THAT FOUNDING, AT THE DEFENDERS THEMSELVES, A BLESSING. A BLESSING QUICKLY LOST WHEN FAITH IS BANNED FROM THE PUBLIC SQUARE, OR WHEN WE REFUSE TO BRING IT THERE. SO, HE UNDERSTOOD THAT THERE IS NO CONFLICT BETWEEN LOVING GOD AND LOVING ONE'S COUNTRY. THE 20 FAITH AND PUBLIC SERVICE. HE UNDERSTOOD THAT THE DEEPER HE WENT IN HIS CATHOLIC FAITH, THE BETTER A CITIZEN AND PUBLIC SERVANT HE BECAME. GOD BLESSED HIM WITH A DESIRE TO BE THE COUNTRY'S GOOD SERVANT, BECAUSE HE WAS GOD'S FIRST. WE, HOWEVER, IT GIVE THANKS FOR PARTICULAR BEST -- BLESSING GOD BESTOWED. GOD BLESS DAD WITH A LOVE FOR HIS FAMILY. WE HAVE BEEN THRILLED TO READ AND HEAR THE MAIN WORKS OF PRAISE AND ADMIRATION FOR HIM. FOR HIS INTELLECT, FOR HIS WRITING, HIS SPEECHES, HIS INFLUENCE AND SO ON. MORE IMPORTANT TO US, AND TO HIM , HE WAS DEAD. HE WAS THE FATHER THAT GOD GAVE US FOR THE GREAT ADVENTURE OF FAMILY LIFE. SURE, HE FORGOT OUR NAMES AT TIMES OR MIXED THEM UP. THERE ARE NINE OF US. HE LOVED US. HE SAW TO SHOW THAT LOVE. HE SAW TO SHARE THE BLESSING OF THE FAITH HE TREASURED. HE GAVE US ONE ANOTHER. TO HAVE EACH OTHER FOR SUPPORT. THAT IS THE GREATEST WEALTH PARENTS CAN BESTOW. RIGHT NOW, WE'RE PARTICULARLY GRATEFUL FOR IT. SO, WE LOOK TO THE PAST, TO JESUS CHRIST, WE CALL TO MIND ALL OF THESE BLESSINGS. WE GIVE OUR LORD THE HONOR AND GLORY FOR THEM. IS THERE HIS WORKS. WE LOOK TO JESUS TODAY, AND PETITION, TO THE PRESENT MOMENT HERE AND NOW AS WE MOURN THE ONE WE LOVE. THE ONE HIS ABSENCE PAINS US. TODAY COME WE PRAY FOR HIM. WE PRAY FOR THE ROOM PUZZLE OF HIS SOUL. -- THE RETRIEVAL OF HIS SOUL. WE KNOW THAT ALTHOUGH DAD BELIEVED, HE DID SO IN PERFECTLY. LIKE THE REST OF US. HE TRIED TO LOVE GOD AND NEIGHBOR. LIKE THE REST OF US, HE DID SO IMPERFECTLY. HE WAS A PRACTICING CATHOLIC, PRACTICING IN THE SENSE THAT HE HAD NOT PERFECTED YET. RATHER, CHRIST WAS NOT YET PERFECTED IN HIM. ONLY THOSE IN WHOM CHRIST IS BROUGHT TO PERFECTION CAN ENTER HEAVEN. WE ARE HERE TO LEND OUR PRAYERS TO THAT PERFECTING. TO THAT FINAL WORK OF GOD'S GRACE. IN FREEING DAD FROM EVERY ENCUMBRANCE OF THING. DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT. THAT HIMSELF, NOT SURPRISINGLY, HAD SOMETHING TO SEND THE MATTER. HE WROTE YEARS AGO TO THE MINISTER HIS FUNERAL SERVICE HE ADMIRED, HE SUMMARIZED QUITE NICELY THE PITFALLS OF FUNERALS AND WHY HE DID NOT LIKE EULOGIES. HE WROTE, "EVEN ON THE DECEASED WAS AN ADMIRAL PERSON, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE DECEASED WAS AN ADMIRABLE PERSON, PRAISE FOR HIS VIRTUES CAN CAUSE US TO FORGET THAT WE ARE PRAYING FOR AND GIVING THANKS FOR GOD'S INEXPLICABLE MERCY TO A SINNER." HE WOULD NOT HAVE EXEMPTED HIMSELF FROM THAT. WE ARE HERE THEN AS HE WOULD WANT, TO PRAY FOR GOD'S INEXPLICABLE MERCY TO A SINNER, TO THIS SINNER ANTONIN SCALIA. LET US NOT SHOW HIM A FALSE LOVE , AND ALLOW OUR ADMIRATION TO DEPRIVE HIM OF OUR PRAYERS. WE CONTINUE TO SHOW AFFECTION FOR HIM, AND DO GOOD FOR HIM BY PRAYING FOR HIM. THAT ALL STATE OF SIN BE WASHED AWAY. THAT ALL WOUNDS BE HEALED. THAT HE BE PURIFIED OF ALL THAT IS NOT CHRIST. LET HIM REST IN PEACE. FINALLY, WE LOOK TO JESUS, FOREVER, INTO ETERNITY. OR BETTER, WE CONSIDER OUR OWN PLACE IN ETERNITY. WHETHER OR NOT IT WILL BE WITH THE LORD. EVEN AS WE PRAY FOR DAD TO ENTER SWIFTLY INTO ETERNAL GLORY, WE SHOULD BE MINDFUL OF OURSELVES. EVERY FUNERAL REMINDS US OF JUST HOW THIN THE VEIL IS. BETWEEN THIS WORLD AND THE NEXT. BETWEEN TIME AND ETERNITY. BETWEEN OPPORTUNITY AND A MOMENT OF JUDGMENT. SO, WE CANNOT DEPART HERE UNCHANGED. IT MAKES NO SENSE TO CELEBRATE GOD'S GOODNESS AND MERCY TO DAD, IF WE ARE NOT ATTENTIVE, AND RESPONSIVE TO THOSE REALITIES IN OUR OWN LIVES. WHEN MUST ALLOW THIS ENCOUNTER WITH ETERNITY TO CHANGE US. TO TURN US FROM SIN TOWARDS THE LORD. THE ENGLISH DOMINICAN FATHER PUT IT BEAUTIFULLY WHEN HE PRAYED. "OH STRONG SON OF GOD, WILL YOU PREPARE A PLACE FOR US, PREPARE US ALSO FOR THAT HAPPY PLACE, THAT WE MAY BE WITH YOU AND WITH THOSE WE LOVE FOR ALL ETERNITY. JESUS CHRIST IS THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND FOREVER. MY DEAR FRIENDS, THIS IS ALSO THE STRUCTURE OF THE NEXT. THE GREATEST PRAYER WE CAN OFFER FOR DAD, IT IS NOT OUR PRAYER, BUT THE LORDS. THE MASS LOOKS TO JESUS YESTERDAY. IT REACHES INTO THE PAST. IT REACHES TO THE LAST SUPPER, TO THE CRUCIFIXION, TO THE RESURRECTION, AND IT MAKES THOSE MYSTERIES AND THEIR POWER PRESENT HERE ON THIS ALTAR. JESUS, HIMSELF, AND PRESENT TODAY UNDER THE FORM OF BREAD AND WINE SO THAT WE CAN UNITE ALL OF OUR PRAYERS OF THANKSGIVING, SORROW, AND PETITION WITH CHRIST HIMSELF AS AN OFFERING TO THE FATHER. ALL OF THIS, WITH A VIEW OF ETERNITY. STRETCHING TOWARDS HEAVEN. WHERE, WE HOPE ONE DAY TO ENJOY THAT PERFECT UNION WITH GOD HIMSELF. TO SEE DAD AGAIN, AND WITH HIM, REJOICE IN THE COMMUNION OF SAINTS. >> GOD, ALMIGHTY FATHER, WITH CONFIDENCE, WE ASK HIM TO SAVE ALL OF HIS PEOPLE LIVING IN DEAD. FOR ANTONIN, WHEN BAPTISM WAS GIVEN THE PLEDGE OF ETERNAL LIFE , HE MAY NOW BE ADMITTED TO THE COMPANY OF THE SAINTS. >> LORD HEAR OUR PRAYER. FOR OUR BROTHER ANTONIN, WHO ATE OF THE BODY OF CHRIST, THE BREAD OF LIFE. THAT HE MAY BE RAISED UP ON THE LAST DAY. WE PRAISE THE LORD. LORD, HEAR OUR PRAYER. FOR OUR DECEASED RELATIVES AND FRIENDS, AND FOR ALL WHO HAVE HELPED US, THEY MAY HAVE THE REWARD OF GOODNESS. WE PRAY FOR THE LORD. >> LORD HEAR OUR PRAYER. >> FOR THOSE WHO HAVE FALLEN ASLEEP IN THE HOPE OF RISING AGAIN, THAT THEY MAY SEE GOD FACE TO FACE. >> LORD HEAR OUR PRAYER. >> FOR THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF OUR BROTHER. THAT THE LORD WHO WEPT AT THE DEATH OF HIS FRIEND LAZARUS, MAKING OUR CONSOLE THEM IN THEIR GRIEF. WE PRAY TO THE LORD. >> LORD, HEAR OUR PRAYER. >> FOR ALL OF THE ASSEMBLED HERE TO WORSHIP IN FAITH. THAT WE MAY BE GATHERED TOGETHER AGAIN IN GOD'S KINGDOM. WE PRAY TO THE LORD. >> LORD HEAR OUR PRAYER. >> GOD, OUR SHELTER AND OUR STRENGTH, YOU LISTEN TO THE CRIES OF YOUR PEOPLE.
