Prayer Before Communion For E.M.H.C. Ministers

[nhojw]

I would like to know if there is a Prayer Book that has Prayers Before Communion that a E.M.H.C. can use when delivering communion to the sick? If so where can one get one?

 

[puzzleannie]

yes there is a book for that, try usccb.org or ltp.org
usccbpublishing.org/productdetails.cfm?PC=252
or
ltp.org/p-2363-the-catholic-handbook-for-visiting-the-sick-and-homebound-2012.aspx
both good reliable guides for EMHCs who take communion to the sick and homebound

I am very thankful that you gave me these two web sites although one of them was out of the one book I ask the other if they had any other book that one can use.

Thank-You

If any one else has a source please pass them along.

Don’t forget to pray for more vocations as you are ministering, so that your role may soon be filled by a priest or deacon.

RS no. 151:
Furthermore, when recourse is had out of necessity to the functions of extraordinary ministers, special urgent prayers of intercession should be multiplied that the Lord may soon send a Priest for the service of the community and raise up an abundance of vocations to sacred Orders.
