  • Catholic Funerals 101 - Part 2, by Fr. Kenneth Metz.
    All Souls Catholic Parish, Sanford, FL
    Fr. Kenneth Metz treats his listeners to deep talks about their beautiful faith, from which so much can be learned that is fascinating and eye-opening about Catholicism. Fr. Ken weaves together historical facts, Biblical writings, current thinking, colorful personalities, and individual stories to bring to light how our past informs our future.
    Summary:
    The rituals that Catholics use to celebrate a person's life, as well as their entrance into eternal life, are connected with Baptism, by which a person enters the mystical body of Christ. The reality is that a Catholic funeral, like all funerals, is a time of sadness and grief. But for Catholics, consolation comes from the hope and faith that is rooted in the saving death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. There are three specific funeral rites that Catholics observe: 1) The Vigil For The Deceased; 2) The Funeral Liturgy; and 3) The Rite of Committal. In this video, Father Ken explains these three rites and gives examples of how they are observed. Taking time to gather for common grieving and to mourn the loss, through meaningful rituals and prayers, has a deep spiritual and emotional value. There's a tested wisdom here, and a human rightness to it. We don't have to grieve like the others who have no hope, because we have that hope in eternal life in Christ!
    If you want to learn more, call the Parish office and ask to speak with All Souls Parish Catechetical Leader, Ms. Holly Hooton, at 407-322-3795. You may find that All Souls has a program or Bible study for you, that will help guide your steps along your faith journey.

    I'm Catholic and I am a pianist who played for some Catholic masses. Sometimes we have to let those feelings out, but at the same time have faith that the person is with God when he or she dies. It's a blessing to be able to be there to help families get through their grief and loss of their loved one. Thank you Father Kenneth for sharing this.

    Thank you for creating this! As a first generation polish catholic I never thought I would be in my early 30s struggling to find resources to practice catholic practices such as catholic funerals and cemetery. Its quite devastating and a huge motivational factor in myself possibly moving to poland although I call california my home due to be born and raised here.

    Very helpful. Thank you. In future videos, take care to compensate for backlighting (stain-glass windows in this case) and/or shadow (trees) with a light source facing the speaker to illuminate at least the person's face. Without one or both of those, the speaker is in shadow, which makes it difficult for the hearing impaired/deaf to understand what is being said because they cannot read the lips of the speaker. Keeping the audio consistent is also something you would want to do in the future.

    If you are Catholic then why are you in communion with the non-Catholic Vatican II sect? They teach many heresies such as Judaism still holding a covenant with God, that Islam is an admirable religion that worships God, that religious liberty is a fundamental human right, that justification is by faith alone, that Protestants are incorporated into Christ, that the Eastern Orthodox are true particular churches whose bishops are pastors in the Church, etc. This is all manifest heresy that renders them as non-Catholic heretics.

      We are not God. Let God handle things. He will resolve all things in the end. Cease divisiveness.

      @@BeCatholicOrBeLost Just few thoughts on your posts. Regarding Romans 16:17 - If you believe that you have come across those making "dissensions and offenses contrary to the doctrine", why are you engaging with them and not marking and avoiding them, as that passage directs?
      Regarding Luke 12:51-53, describing the separation and division that was foretold, then why concern yourself with questioning it? You can see it as people living out what was written. Evidence of Christ's intention to do that, working out just as described.
