A Ritual for Laypersons

Focusing on the role of laypersons in religious rites, this book compiles essential ceremonies that can be conducted without a priest or deacon, such as Holy Communion outside Mass and pastoral care for the sick and dying. It features a selection of readings, responses, and prayers, including those for the deceased and mourners. Updated to reflect changes from The Roman Missal, Third Edition, the book is designed for convenience with a portable format, two-color printing, and an elegant gold-stamped cover.
