This booklet is intended for use by lay ministers of communion. It contains the Rite of Communion of the Sick with a good selection of Scripture readings. There is a shortened version for use in a hospital or nursing home, and also a version to be used with the dying (holy communion as Viaticum). The introduction provides useful formation material for the minister. An appendix offers a collection of psalms, prayers and poems for the spiritual nourishment of the sick and their families.
