One more reason why such fond memories of the deceased should be recounted after the prayer service at the funeral home rather than as part of the funeral Mass.
Point taken Father Charles. I also believe that the guidelines of the Boston Archdiocese limits funeral eulogies to five minutes, and we saw how well that worked out!
Faithful, or even just thoughtful criticisms are always welcome. Uninformed rudeness to other posters or to the Lord and His Church is not.
I also reserve the right to reject comments promoting things like private revelations and fringe points of view, if it seems to me like they are being presented in a misleading way.
If you raise a disagreement with something I say but I do not respond, please do not feel slighted or insulted, or imagine that this automatically means I disagree or agree with you. It's just that I don't find the comment box to be a constructive medium for certain forms of debate.

ReplyDeleteEternal rest grant unto funeral eulogies, O Lord; and let no light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.
ReplyDeleteI wish, my friends. But if someone like Senator Kennedy can have inappropriate eulogies, how can we tell our people they can't?

ReplyDeleteScary!

ReplyDeleteYikes!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear it was unrelated to the demise of the deceased, but still...
How odd!
ROFL!
