The Life Of Christ And The Death Of A Loved One
Crafting The Funeral Homily
A Funeral Homily For The Great 50 Days Of Easter
Canticle: Christ Is Risen or Pascha Nostrum
Music: He Is Risen, He Is Risen
The liturgy for the dead, the Burial Office, for which we have come here today, is an Easter liturgy. And since we are in the midst of the Great Fifty Days of the Easter season, it is doubly an Easter liturgy.
Therefore, we call today a celebration: a celebration of Jesus' resurrection, and the celebration of the sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life for those who trust in him.
