Orlando Stadium, Soweto
11 June 2011
1 Pet 1:3-9; Matthew 5:3-10
May I speak in the name of God, who comforts those who mourn. Amen.
In his name, and in the precious name of Jesus Christ – who died and rose again, to be for us the resurrection and the life – I greet you all once again, as we ask for God’s comfort and strength upon all who grieve at the death of Ma Albertina Sisulu; even as we gather to celebrate the life of this remarkable woman.
[Further greetings – acknowledging VIPs as necessary – but more importantly the Sisulu family, children, grand children and great grand children.]
