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.

A great resource for sponsors and initiation ministers, this volume describes both the process and experience of discerning entrance into the Church.                                          

An insightful catechesis on the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist, based on the methodology presented in Sacramentum Caritatis.
