Title: A Ritual for Laypersons
Subtitle: Rites for Holy Communion and the Pastoral Care of the Sick and Dying

Included are Holy Communion outside Mass; pastoral care of the sick; pastoral care of the dying; a selection of readings, responses, and verses from Sacred Scripture; and prayers for the dead and mourners.
