Pastoral Care of the Dying, Catholic Prayers Brochure

This brochure (and its companion “Pastoral Care of the Sick”) put the Church’s prayers into people’s hands. Catholics are often uncertain what the Church offers for those who are sick and dying. When should the sick be anointed and what does it mean? What are the ‘Last Rites’? This brochure contains:
An explanation of the ‘Last Rites’
Holy Communion given as Viaticum (an outline and prayers)
Prayers for the Commendation of the Dying
Prayer after Death
Prayer for the Family and Friends
