Although the Catholic funeral rite has not changed in the past few decades, society has. Parishes have new questions to face that their liturgical book does not consider: eulogies by family members, the final disposition of cremated remains, and the collapse of the traditional three-stage funeral liturgy. Light in the Darkness takes a fresh look at the pastoral challenges society is posing, while giving concrete suggestions for implementing the vision of the Catholic Church's Order of Christian Funerals. The appendix includes catechetical materials for families planning a funeral and an extended commentary on all the Scripture readings for a funeral Mass.

The rituals covered in this volume implore God’s blessing on the oils to be used for the sacramental blessings of the Church, including the optional chant forms of these prayers. This book is intended for use at the Chrism Mass, where the bishop consecrates the sacred “Chrism of salvation” and blesses the holy oils for use at Baptism, Confirmation, and the Anointing of the Sick. A vital book for any bishop’s collection, as well as an important addition to a diocesan office, seminary, or theological library. Features a royal red bonded leather hardcover with gold foil cover art, natural white paper, and easy-to-read text.

This bilingual text includes rites for the following: Confirmation within Mass, Confirmation outside Mass, and Confirmation for a Person in Danger of Death. Also included are Confirmation prayers from the Roman Missal and lists of appropriate lectionary readings to accompany the rites.

This easy-to-use aid is a practical tool for priests, deacons, and lay pastoral ministers as they help grieving Catholics plan the funeral of a loved one. Families can select the readings and prayers that they find most fitting for the Mass and record them on an easy-to-follow selection sheet, which is included with the book. This information is given to the presiding priest or his designate to prepare the funeral liturgy.  A comforting pastoral introduction and an appendix explaining Church teaching on the practice of cremation are included.

This revised bilingual ritual edition is divided into seven chapters, including the Order of Baptism for one child, for several children, or for a large number of children, as well as the Orders to be used in the absence of a priest or deacon. This volume also includes an appendix—not found in the original edition—that is provided to assist Priests who wish to celebrate the Order of Baptism for One Child or for Several Children within mass.  In addition, this new revision incorporates changes in accord with the Third Typical Edition of the Roman Missal and the Abbey Psalms and Canticles (formerly the Revised Grail Psalms).

The official texts of the Church for the blessing of Catholics in their final hours, in a convenient compact form, for use by priests, deacons, and lay ministers.
