Transcription of Funeral Readings - All
{{id}} {{{paragraph}}}
Funeral Readings . Selecting Scripture passages plays an important part in the planning of a Funeral ceremony, for we know that God gives us the words to say when no words can be found. For this reason, the Word of God is at the heart of the Funeral liturgy that we might view this experience of death in light of the resurrection of the body to come. To make this easier for the family, the Catholic Church has pre-selected a number of Biblical passages which are appropriate for the occasion of a Funeral . Please look over these passages as part of your Funeral preparations, and select those Readings which speak most to you in this time.
The Lord GOD will wipe away the tears from all faces; The reproach of his people he will remove from the whole earth; for the Lord has spoken. On that day it will be said: "Behold our God, to whom we looked to save us! This is the Lord for whom we looked; let us rejoice and be glad that he has saved us!" The Word of the Lord.
