About this listen
The Western Book of the Dead: Or the Record of the Books of God, compiled and edited by Marilynn Hughes, is a comprehensive guide to the prayers, rites, and devotions surrounding death and dying in the Roman Catholic tradition. Drawing from the 1908 Roman Breviary in English, this work collects the Church's most essential practices for the sick, the dying, and the deceased.
Included are the Rite for Emergencies, Visits to the Sick, Anointing of the Sick Outside of Mass, Communion of the Sick, Commendation of the Dying, Prayers after Death, Prayers for the Dead, Gathering in the Presence of the Body, Vigil for the Deceased, Readings for the Order of Christian Funerals, the Rite of Committal with Final Commendation, and the Office of the Dead.
This book provides a faithful, accessible, and complete English rendering of these timeless liturgical texts, offering guidance for clergy, lay ministers, and all who wish to participate reverently in the sacred rituals surrounding death. Perfect for study, devotion, or use in pastoral ministry, it preserves the depth, dignity, and solemnity of the Church's rites for the passage from this life into the next.
