Deposition, Funeral and Burial Rites of Pope John Paul II |
||||||||||||||
| Deposition of the Body of the Roman Pontiff in the Coffin Before the Funeral Mass the body will be deposited in a coffin of Cyprus wood. It will the be closed in the presence of the Cardinal Camerlengo, the heads of each Order of Cardinals (Cardinal Bishops, Cardinal Priest, Cardinal Deacons), the Cardinal Archpriest of the Vatican Basilica, the Cardinal Secretary of State, the Cardinal Vicar of Rome, the Substitute of the Secretariat of State, the Prefect of the Pontifical Household, the Almoner of the Supreme Pontiff, the Vice-Camerlengo, representatives of the Canons of the Vatican Basilica and of the Office of the Secretary of the Supreme Pontiff, all vested in choir habit, and the family of the deceased. [note: in John Paul’s case, since he lacks living family members, this probably refers to the nuns and others who served him in the papal household.] The Cardinal Camerlengo introduces the Rite. Prayer follows. The Master of Papal Liturgical Ceremonies reads the Rogito, a document which officially consigns the Pope to history and accompanies him to the grave. It gives, in Latin, historic information about the pope, such as baptismal and family name, name of pontificate, important dates in life, and significant papal decrees. After further prayer, the Master of Papal Liturgical Ceremonies and the Secretary of the Pope place a white silk veil over his face. Then the Camerlengo blesses the body with Holy Water. The Master of Papal Liturgical Ceremonies then places in the coffin the silk bag with the medals of the Pontificate and a tube containing the Rogito, after having sealed it with the seal of the Office of Liturgical Celebrations of the Supreme Pontiff. Ps 41 (Ps 42)* is sung as the coffin is closed. As the deer longs for streams of water, so my soul longs for you, O God.

Solemn Funeral Mass for Pope John Paul II Introit (Entrance Chant): Requiem aeternam
Collect (Opening Prayer): Let us pray. … First Reading: Acts 10:34-43 Then Peter proceeded to speak and said, "In truth, I see that God shows no partiality. [35] Rather, in every nation whoever fears him and acts uprightly is acceptable to him. [36] You know the word (that) he sent to the Israelites as he proclaimed peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all, [37] what has happened all over Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached, [38] how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the holy Spirit and power. He went about doing good and healing all those oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. [39] We are witnesses of all that he did both in the country of the Jews and (in) Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree. [40] This man God raised (on) the third day and granted that he be visible, [41] not to all the people, but to us, the witnesses chosen by God in advance, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. [42] He commissioned us to preach to the people and testify that he is the one appointed by God as judge of the living and the dead. [43] To him all the prophets bear witness, that everyone who believes in him will receive forgiveness of sins through his name." Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 22 (Vulgate), which is Psalm 23 in the Hebrew numeration most bibles use V. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. Response: In verdant pastures he gives me repose; Second Reading: Philippians 3:20-4:1 But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we also await a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. [21] He will change our lowly body to conform with his glorified body by the power that enables him also to bring all things into subjection to himself. [4:1] Therefore, my brothers, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, in this way stand firm in the Lord, beloved. Gospel Acclamation: John 6:40 Alleluia. Alleluia. Alleluia. Gospel: John 21:15-19 [At that time when he had manifested Himself to his disciples and] When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs." [16] He then said to him a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep." [17] He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was distressed that he had said to him a third time, "Do you love me?" and he said to him, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." (Jesus) said to him, "Feed my sheep. [18] Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to dress yourself and go where you wanted; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go." [19] He said this signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when he had said this, he said to him, "Follow me." Apostles Creed instead of Nicene. The Apostles Creed is probably the baptismal creed of Rome from at least the 2nd century. It is used in baptism for the catechumens to affirm their faith, and in the renewal of baptismal vows. Similar creeds are used in the baptisms of all rites from the earliest days of the Church. The 2002 Roman Missal permits its use as the Creed at Mass during Lent and the Easter Season. Offertory Chant: Tu illuminas lucernam meam. Psalm 17 (18) 2b-3a. I love you, LORD, my strength, LORD, my rock, my fortress, my deliverer Eucharistic Prayer 1 (Roman Canon) Communion Rite Final Commendation and Farewell Roman Church: Cardinal Vicar of Rome, Cardinal Ruini, approaches the remains. The choir sings the Litany of the Saints, after which the Cardinal Vicar concludes the supplications of the Church of Rome with a Prayer. Eastern Church (i.e. in Communion with Rome): A Patriarch representing the Eastern Church, incenses the remains, Eastern clergy offer a Supplication for the Holy Father. The Cardinal Dean, Cardinal Ratzinger, as principal celebrant blesses the remains with Holy Water. Chant: In paradisum

The public generally enters through an interior staircase in the right front pillar near the main altar, or, from ground level at the right front side of the Basilica, near the stairs from the Sistine Chapel.] The scola sings while the body is carried to the tomb.

The rite begins with Prayer. The Cyprus wood coffin containing the Pope’s remains, is sealed with red ribbons, upon which are impressed the seal of the Apostolic Camera, the prefecture of the Pontifical Household, the Office of Liturgical Celebrations of the Supreme Pontiff, and the Vatican Chapter (the clergy serving the Basilica). The coffin is placed in the coffin of zinc covered wood, which is immediately sealed, and impressed with the seals of the above offices. Upon the cover is placed the Cross and the Coat of Arms of the deceased Pontiff. The Remains are placed in the tomb to the singing of the Salve Regina.

Thank you Miss Behave.
LOL, after searching the page up and down for about 5 minutes and pondering what was up with this, I finally thought about doing a page search for Bush and thats how I found it. So don't feel bad.
As in exercise, workout?
I watch it online...don't have cable, don't watch broadcast TV....the screen is small, but the sound is good!
Doh! Five months with a cable modem and it takes someone else to point out the obvious. :)
**I remained pretty stoic until the pallbearers turned on the top of the steps on their way back into the Basilica**
That moment got me too.
**it is reversed...so that the ordained face their people.**
I figured this was the reason! Sort of a final "God be with you!" (Good-bye)
I think it got to me because it was 'wow, we're never going to see him again--he's really gone.' If I hadn't been trying to get the baby back to sleep, I think I would have been sobbing :(
I also heard last night that he writes for the Wanderer.
Me three. I'm a terrible funeral cryer anyway, I don't even have to know the people - I still lose it. As soon as I see other people crying, like in the crowd today, I'm toast.
I'm glad DH went to work early so I could sit and sniffle in peace without him thinking I'm a big baby.

Bookmark for later read.
That's exactly what I was feeling, too.
IN case anyone's interested, the ETWN rebroadcast has just begun again...12 noon mountain, 2 eastern...
Very, very, very *good* light infantry. Ever see one of those guys give a demonstration? Stunning to see them in action - those halberds are *not* just ceremonial pieces.
