A Large-Print Catholic Prayer Book for the End of Life: A Companion for the Dying, Their Families, and Their Caregivers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798182355872)

A faithful Catholic companion for the final hours.

When someone you love is dying, it can be hard to know what to do, what to say, or what to pray. Many Catholic families know they should call a priest, but they may not know to ask for Anointing of the Sick, Confession, Holy Communion as Viaticum, and the Apostolic Pardon.

This large-print Catholic prayer book was created for that sacred and difficult moment.

Inside, readers will find traditional Catholic prayers, clear guidance on the sacraments at the end of life, Scripture for the bedside, prayers to Our Lady and the saints, and practical help for families before, during, and after death.

This book includes:

• Emergency guidance for calling a priest
• Prayers for the dying person
• Prayers for family members and caregivers
• The Act of Contrition, Anima Christi, Memorare, Hail Holy Queen, and other traditional prayers
• The Apostolic Pardon formula
• The Proficiscere: Go Forth, Christian Soul
• The Litany of the Saints for the dying
• Scripture passages to read at the bedside
• Catholic reflections on Death, Judgment, Hell, and Heaven
• Ten saints who died well
• A quick reference card for urgent bedside use

Written with reverence, tenderness, and Catholic seriousness, A Large-Print Catholic Prayer Book for the End of Life is suitable for elderly Catholics, hospice patients, families, caregivers, priests, deacons, chaplains, and parish sick-visitation ministries.

For the hour when words are hard to find, this book gives the prayers of the Church.
