communion outside mass

viaticum

Viaticum is the sacrament of the dying. When the minister has brought holy communion, the rite may begin with the renewal of the dying person’s profession of faith (p. 543).

Viaticum is then celebrated in the same manner as Communion of the sick (p. 308), but after giving communion, the minister says:

May the Lord Jesus Christ protect you and lead you to eternal life.

℟. Amen.

The concluding prayer follows:

God of peace, you offer eternal healing to those who believe in you; you have refreshed your servant N. with food and drink from heaven: lead him/her safely into the kingdom of light. We ask this through Christ our Lord.

℟. Amen.
