In The Event Of My Death

Did you know?
St. Camillus (the originator of the Red Cross) had his priests stay with the dead for at least 15 minutes to pray for the deceased and his/her family and also to ensure they had actually passed on because there were reports that some people were not actually dead and were being buried alive immediately after death!

What should my family and I do immediately after watching a loved one pass away?
Use the Breviary to read the Prayers after Death and the Prayers for the Family & Friends
There is now an iBreviary app that provides this Rite for the Commendation of the Dying which includes these prayers.   Everyone needs to have this app on their Kindle.
