St Benilde Scriptural Readings for Funerals
R O M A N C A T H O L I C F U N E R A L R E A D I N G S The selection of passages from the Bible is an important part of planning a funeral ceremony, as we want to turn to God's word for wisdom and comfort in this time of loss. The Word of God is at the heart of our Christian celebration of faith in this funeral rite in anticipation of the resurrection of the body. 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 find those words which speak to your heart. Instructions: 1. The first reading is taken from the Old Testament. 2. Following the First Reading, the Responsorial Psalm is sung or recited. 3. The second reading is taken from the New Testament. 4. The gospel reading is also taken from the New Testament, and is chosen by the priest. 5. The family is invited to designate two persons to read the first two Readings , one reading each.
