[/quote] Apparently it's more appropriate at the vigil (wake) but is permissible in some dioceses before the Final Commendation.
Apotheoun Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 I just hope that Ted Kennedy's funeral does not turn into an NBC Big Event like Michael Jackson's.

StColette Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Found this post from Fr. Cappie [quote name='cappie' date='10 July 2009 - 07:04 PM' timestamp='1247267075' post='1916902'] From the Order of Christian Funerals: FINAL COMMENDATION 170. Following the prayer after communion, the priest goes to a place near the coffin. The assisting ministers carry the censer and holy water, if these are to be used. [b]A member or a friend of the family may speak in remembrance of the deceased before the final commendation begins.[/b] Invitation to Prayer 171. Using one of the following invitations, or one of those provided in no. 402, or in similar words, the priest faces the people and begins the final commendation. A Before we go our separate ways, let us take leave of our brother/sister. May our farewell express our affection for him/her; may it ease our sadness and strengthen our hope. One day we shall joyfully greet him/her again when the love of Christ, which conquers all things, destroys even death itself. B Trusting in God, we have prayed together for N. and now we come to the last farewell. There is sadness in parting, but we take comfort in the hope that one day we shall see N. again and enjoy his/her friendship. Although this congregation will disperse in sorrow, the mercy of God will gather us together again in the joy of his kingdom. Therefore let us console one another in the faith of Jesus Christ. Silence 172. All pray in silence. (Signs of Farewell) 173. The coffin may now be sprinkled with holy water and incensed, or this may take place during or after the song of farewell Song of Farewell 174. The song of farewell is then sung. The following or other responsories chosen from no. 403, may be used or some other song may be sung. Saints of God, come to his/her aid! Hasten to meet him/her, angels of the Lord! R. Receive his/her soul and present him/her to God the Most High. May Christ, who called you, take you to himself; may angels lead you to the bosom of Abraham. R. Receive his/her soul and present him/her to God the Most High. Eternal rest grant unto him/her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him/her. R. Receive his/her soul and present him/her to God the Most High. Prayer of Commendation 175. The priest then says one of the following prayers. A Into your hands, Father of mercies, we commend our brother/sister N. in the sure and certain hope that, together with all who have died in Christ, he/she will rise with him on the last day. (We give you thanks for the blessings which you bestowed upon N. in this life: they are signs to us of your goodness and of our fellowship with the saints in Christ.) Merciful Lord, turn toward us and listen to our prayers: open the gates of paradise to your servant and help us who remain to comfort one another with assurances of faith, until we all meet in Christ and are with you and with our brother/sister for ever. We ask this through Christ our Lord. R. Amen. B To you, O Lord, we commend the soul of N. your servant; in the sight of this world he/she is now dead; in your sight may he/she live for ever. Forgive whatever sins he/she committed through human weakness and in your goodness grant him/her everlasting peace. We ask this through Christ our Lord. R. Amen. PROCESSION TO THE PLACE OF COMMITTAL [/quote]
Apotheoun Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 It would be interesting to see if that quotation is based on the older liturgical books, or the more recently issued texts.

[/quote] Shouldn't call him that. I know you, many others, and I are not big fans of him......at all.........but really shouldn't call him that. [quote name='CatherineM' date='28 August 2009 - 01:00 PM' timestamp='1251478853' post='1957245'] I'm not sure there is a priest in Boston who would say no to Obama. [/quote] I would hope that we would have priests who would be willing to stand up against scandal.

[/quote] There are always exceptions for a Kennedy.
