Through Death To Life

A superb planning resource for funeral liturgies, including pastoral compassion and spiritual support for bereaving families, relatives, and friends. Contains all the variant prayers, readings and optional texts of the funeral mass. In the "Introduction" and in a six-page "Message for the Family," Champlin offers poignant reflections based on his pastoral and personal encounters with the death of a loved one and provides comfort and hope in God's promise. He also explains the new funeral liturgy and the variations available.
