Celebrating the Funeral Liturgy, a resource for parishes and people preparing the funeral of a loved one has just been launched by Bishop Ray Browne. It is an expanded version of a resource used throughout the diocese. This new version contains an explanation of the Christian symbols used in the funeral liturgy, a new and wider selection of scripture readings, a variety of some “Prayer of the Faithful”, as also a selection of appropriate hymns.
This booklet is very attractive because it is easy to use. It is of great help to bereaved families, giving them clear choices of scripture reading, prayers and hymns. Bishop Ray Browne said “that this booklet will be one of the most used publications in our diocese. Death touches all families and no matter how prepared we are for the death of a loved one, we are still searching for help and open to assistance during those difficult days. This publication will be a great resource for priests and for ministers in our parishes who support the bereaved.”
