Second Readingpublished at 14:48 Greenwich Mean Time 23 March 2017
The second reading, from the Second Letter of St Paul to Timothy, was read by Sean Hargan, Mr McGuinness' son-in-law:
As for me, my life is already being poured away as a libation, and the time has come for me depart. I have fought the good fight to the end; I have run the race to the finish;I have kept the faith; all there is to come for me now is the crown of righteousness which the Lord, the upright judge, will give to me on that Day; and, not only to me, but to all those who have longed for his appearing.
First Readingpublished at 14:46 Greenwich Mean Time 23 March 2017
Martin McGuinness' nephew, Odhran McGuinness, delivered the first reading - from the Book of Ecclesiastes:
There is a season for everything,a time for every occupation under heaven.A time for giving birth, a time for dying;a time for planting, a time for uprooting what has been planted.A time for killing, a time for healing;a time for knocking down, a time for building.A time for tears, a time for laughter;a time for mourning, a time for dancing.A time for throwing stones away, a time for gathering them;a time for embracing, a time to refrain from embracing.A time for searching, a time for losing;a time for keeping, a time for discarding.A time for tearing, a time for sewing;a time for keeping silent, a time for speaking.A time for loving, a time for hating;a time for war, a time for peace.
