2027 Catholic Handbook for Visiting the Sick and Homebound

$10.50

Ministers of care carry the compassion of Jesus to people who are sick, homebound, isolated, or suffering. Sent forth from the Eucharistic celebration, they bring the Word of God, holy Communion, and the comfort of personal presence to those who cannot join their parish community on Sunday.

Catholic Handbook for Visiting the Sick and Homebound gathers everything a lay minister needs for this ministry in one place. Its portable, easy-to-use format holds the lectionary readings and official rites, so ministers can share holy Communion, pray, and reflect on the Gospel with those they visit, with care and confidence.

Inside:

  • The Gospel readings for Year B
  • Explanations of the readings to help ministers share the Word
  • The complete texts of the rites for:
    • Sharing holy Communion and Viaticum
    • Visiting the sick
    • Blessing the sick and those who suffer
    • Praying with those who are dying
  • A list of patron saints for those who are sick and suffering
