  • 35-Burial of the Dead
    REGARDING CHRISTIAN DEATH AND BURIAL The burial of a Christian is an occasion of both sorrow and joy—our sorrow in the face of death, and our joy in Jesus’ promise of the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting. As the burial liturgy proclaims, “life is changed, not ended; and when our mortal body lies in death, there is prepared for us a dwelling place eternal in the heavens.” The Christian burial liturgy looks forward to eternal life rather than backward to past events. It does not primarily focus on the achievements or failures of the deceased; rather, it calls us to proclaim the Good News of Jesus and his triumph over death, even as we celebrate the life and witness of the deceased. The readings should always be drawn from the Bible, and the prayers and music from the Christian tradition. A wake preceding the service and a reception following the service are appropriate places for personal remembrances. Where possible, the burial liturgy is conducted in a church, and it is often celebrated within the context of the Eucharist. The Book of Common Prayer has always admonished Christians to be mindful of their mortality. It is therefore the duty of all Christians, as faithful stewards, to draw up a Last Will and Testament, making provision for the well-being of their families and not neglecting to leave bequests for the mission of the Church. In addition, it is important while in health to provide direction for one’s own funeral arrangements, place of burial, and the Scripture readings and hymns of the burial liturgy, and to make them known to the Priest.

  • R.E. Prayer Requirement Guidelines
    R.E. Prayer Requirement Guidelines This year in the Religious Education Program we are re-instituting Prayer Requirements for each grade level. Please review the prayers required to be memorized, recited from text, \understood, or experienced for the grade that you are teaching (see p. 1) Each week, please take some class time to work on these prayers so that the R.E. students are able not only to recite the prayers but also to understand what they are saying and/or reading. The Student Sheet (p. 2) will need to be copied for each of your students, the student’s name placed on the sheet, and grid completed for each of the prayers they are expected to know, or understand, or recite from text, or experience. You may wish to assign the Assistant Catechist or High School Assistant to work, individually, with the students in order to assess their progress. We will be communicating these prayer requirements to the parents of your students, and later in the year, each student will take their sheet home for their parents to review their progress. We appreciate your assistance in teaching our youth to know their prayers and to pray often to Jesus… to adore God, to thank God, to ask God’s pardon, to ask God’s help in all things, to pray for all people. Remind your students that God always hears our prayers, but He does not always give us what we ask for because we do not always know what is best for others or ourselves. “Prayer is the desire and attempt to communicate with God.” Remember, no prayer is left unanswered!

  • FUNERAL SERVICE Words to Be Said Are in This Style: All : Say These Words
    Old Catholic Apostolic Church THE FUNERAL SERVICE Words to be said are in this style: All : say these words. Instructions are in italics. The funeral of the Church may be grouped into two divisions: the first including those offices, foremost in importance, whose purpose is to surround the liberated soul with peace and spiritual power. Of these, the offering of the Holy Sacrifice for the repose of the soul is the most important and efficacious. The other and less important part of the rite consists of hallowing the ground or grave and the consigning to it of the ashes or the cast-off body. To this must be added the work of giving comfort and assurance to the relatives and friends. This work of giving help and peace to the departed person is inevitably hindered if we surround them with feelings of depression and unhappiness. Every effort should therefore be made to put aside our own very natural sense of sorrow and loss and to think rather of the happiness and peace of the departed soul. In proportion as we can accomplish this, so we also gain comfort and strength for ourselves. The Priest should be asked to commemorate the deceased person, as soon after the death as possible, at one of his regular Celebrations. It is strongly recommended that wherever possible the physical body of the deceased person shall be cremated, that is, disintegrated rapidly by fire rather than process of slow decay. If there is to be special Requiem Eucharist the body should if possible be taken to the church where that Eucharist is offered.

  • A Guide to Funeral Planning
    St. John the Beloved Catholic Church McLean, Virginia INTRODUCTION On behalf of all your fellow parishioners, the priests and staff of Saint John the Beloved Church extend to your family our prayerful sympathy in this time of loss and grief. There are many people praying for you and with you. The hundreds of members of the St. John Prayer Chain are lifting you up in prayer. At Sunday Mass we all will be praying for your loved one and your family. On the first Saturday after All Souls Day we will be together and pray for all those who passed away in the previous year. You are not alone. When we gather for the Mass of Christian Burial at St. John the Beloved we also transcend time and join the faithful sinners and saints who have offered up the same prayers for their loved ones over the past twenty centuries. In the ancient tradition of the classic Requiem Mass, we can feel our prayers carried aloft by the angels with the Sacred Scriptures and monastic chants that have been used at the burial rites of Christians for far more than one thousand years. In the Sacred Liturgy we experience the consolation of praying with each other, with the whole Church, with all the saints and with Jesus Christ Himself and of having them pray for us. This tangible connection with the Communion of Saints, those who pray for us in heaven and even those who still need us to pray for them, can be a comfort and consolation for us as we mourn the loss of a loved one.

Thank you very much, Father Raid. You told us of the forced displacement of many Christian families from their homes. The tragic diminution of Jesus’ disciples here and across the Middle East does incalculable harm not just to the individuals and communities concerned but also to the society they leave behind. Indeed such a richly diverse cultural and religious fabric as this is weakened by the loss of any of its members, however small. As in one of your intricately designed 2 carpets, one small thread torn away can damage the rest. Father, you told us of your fraternal relationship with Muslims after returning to Mosul. You were met with welcome, respect and cooperation. Thank you, Father, for having shared these signs that the Spirit is making blossom in the desert, and for showing us that it is possible to hope in reconciliation and new life. Mr Aagha, you reminded us that the real identity of this city is that of harmonious coexistence between people of different backgrounds and cultures.

    SAINT CHARLES PARISH COMMUNITY 880 TAMARACK AVENUE • SAN CARLOS • CALIFORNIA • 94070 www.stcharlesparish.org Seventh Sunday of Ordinary Time Lenten Devotion Traveling Vocations Chalice Program The word “vocation” is derived from the Latin word vocare, “ to call” and so a voca- tion is a calling. Above all, everyone has a vocation, a universal call to holiness, which Christ gives to us in the Gospel (John 13:34). The principle of the Traveling Vocations Chalice Program is to help us focus and en- courage prayer for vocations to the Priesthood and Religious Life and to have the courage to listen and respond to God’s calling. During Lent we are inviting parish families to participate in the Traveling Vocations Chalice Program. This chalice serves as a visible reminder to pray together for voca- tions. Each week at Mass during Lent, a volunteer family is invited to take the gifts up at the Offertory Procession. At the end of Mass, the family is called by the priest to come forward to receive the chalice, a prayer card, and a blessing. The family takes the chalice home and puts it in a place of honor. Each day for a week, during prayer time (morning, bedtime, or at meals), the family prays for an awareness and increase of vocations. The following Sunday the family returns the chalice for another family to take home. Families interested in participating should contact Kathy Cox at the Parish Office (650) 591-7349 ext. 416. ________________________________ St. Charles Church is happy to invite you to a talk on Conscience Formation: “A Lenten Guide in Anxious Times” Friday, March 3, 2017 7:00-8:30pm in the church Fr.

  • FUNERAL LITURGY OUTSIDE MASS I Am the Resurrection and the Life; Whoever Believes in Me Shall Never Die
    FUNERAL LITURGY OUTSIDE MASS I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me shall never die. 177 In the funeral liturgy outside Mass the community gathers to hear the message of Easter hope proclaimed in the liturgy of the word and to commend the deceased to God. 178 This rite may be used for various reasons: 1. when the funeral Mass is not permitted, namely, on solemnities of obligation, on Holy Thursday and the Easter Triduum, and on the Sundays of Advent, Lent, and the Easter Season; (cf GIRM 336) 2. when in some places or circumstances it is not possible to celebrate the funeral Mass before the committal, for example, if a priest is not available; 3. when for pastoral reasons the pastor and the family judge that the funeral liturgy outside Mass is a more suitable form of celebration. 179 The funeral liturgy outside Mass is ordinarily celebrated in the parish church, but may also be celebrated in the home of the deceased, a funeral home, parlour, chapel of rest, or cemetery chapel. 180 The readings are those of the Lectionary for Mass, ‘Masses for the Dead.’ The intercessions should be adapted to the circumstances. Models are given in place and in Part V, no. 401. The celebration may also include holy communion. 181 In the choice of music for the funeral liturgy, preference should be given to the singing of the entrance song, the responsorial psalm, the gospel acclamation, and especially the song of farewell at the final commendation. 182 The minister who is a priest or deacon wears an alb with stole (a cope may be used, if desired); a lay-person who presides wears the liturgical vestments approved for the region.
