We hope you will find these resources helpful in planning the Mass of Christian Burial:
Jesus said to his disciples:
"Do not let your hearts be troubled.
You have faith in God; have faith also in me.
In my Father's house there are many dwelling places.
If there were not,
would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?
And if I go and prepare a place for you,
I will come back again and take you to myself,
so that where I am you also may be.
Where I am going you know the way." (John 14:1-4)
For those who have lost a loved one, our deepest sympathies and prayers for you and your family.
