Hello!

I'm wondering if you can help me.

What Roman Catholic readings would you choose for your funeral?

Thank you in advance if anyone sees this!

Do you mean bible readings?

www.dignityfunerals.co.uk/advice/bible-readings-for-funerals/

There may be some prayers that are said that I'm not familiar with as I'm CofE but I do I use the first one on this page a lot www.daily-prayers.org/angels-and-saints/prayers-of-saint-john-henry-newman/

Hopefully someone who is RC will be along shortly

Wisdom 3 v1-9.
A reading from the Book of Wisdom
The souls of the just are in the hand of God,
and no torment shall touch them.
They seemed, in the view of the foolish, to be dead; and their passing away was thought an affliction and their going forth from us, utter destruction.
But they are in peace.
For if before men, indeed they be punished,
yet is their hope full of immortality;
Chastised a little, they shall be greatly blessed, because God tried them,
and found them worthy of himself.
As gold in the furnace, he proved them,
and as sacrificial offerings he took them to himself. In the time of their visitation they shall shine,
and shall dart about as sparks through stubble; They shall judge nations and rule over peoples, and the LORD shall be their King forever.
Those who trust in him shall understand truth,
and the faithful shall abide with him in love: Because grace and mercy are with his holy ones, and his care is with his elect.
The word of the Lord.
C3
Long version: Wisdom 3:1-9
