Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
Jesús le contestó: «Yo soy la resurrección y la vida; el que cree en Mí, aunque muera, vivirá,
y todo el que vive y cree en Mí, no morirá jamás. ¿Crees esto?».
Dear Ozuna family, we have come together to bury the ashes of your beloved grandfather, father, and husband, Daniel Ozuna. In doing so, we remember that our bodies were created out of the dust of the earth, but by faith we believe that one day, in the new creation, we will - just as Jesus - be raised in glory.
We have a confident hope that one day God will raise us and transform our mortal bodies.
Listen to one of God’s promises from the book of Romans:
Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him.
Y si hemos muerto con Cristo, creemos que también viviremos con Él,
sabiendo que Cristo, habiendo resucitado de entre los muertos, no volverá a morir; la muerte ya no tiene dominio sobre Él.
Let us pray...
Faithful God, Lord of all creation, you desire that nothing redeemed by your Son will ever be lost, and that the just will be raised up on the last day. Comfort us today with the word of your promise as we return the ashes of our brother to the earth. We know that you have granted our brother a place of rest and peace where the world of dust and ashes has no dominion. Continue to comfort the family; give them strength to trust in you - our only hope and comfort.
We end this time with the following words:
In sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life, through our Lord Jesus Christ, we commend to almighty God our brother Daniel Ozuna, and we commit his body this resting place, earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
En esperanza segura y cierta de la resurrección a la vida eterna por nuestro Señor Jesucristo, encomendamos al Dios todopoderoso a nuestro hermano Daniel Ozuna, y entregamos su cuerpo a su lugar de descanso; tierra a tierra, ceniza a ceniza, polvo a polvo.
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
La gracia del Señor Jesucristo, el amor de Dios y la comunión del Espíritu Santo sean con todos ustedes.
