  ...whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s. For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. Romans 18 verses 8 and 9" the baritone of the Officiating Priest resounded in Ximena's head who's eyes had been fixed on the coffins before her.

  Standing so calm and bereft like she wasn't admist the little crowd, Ximena she listened to the burial rites of her parents.

  "Let us Pray" the Priest flipped over to the next page of his book - a book every other person held.

  The Priest - Lord, have mercy upon us.

  All - Christ, have mercy upon us.

  The Priest - Lord, have mercy upon us.

  All - Our Father, which art in heaven,

  hallowed be thy name;

  thy kingdom come;

  thy will be done,

  in earth as it is in heaven.

  Give us this day our daily bread....
