Caring for the dying, praying for the dead, and comforting those who mourn are all elements of a ministry of consolation. The Catholic Church calls each member of Christ's Body; priest, deacon, religious, and layperson, to this ministry. Each member of the Christian faithful shares in this ministry according to the various gifts and offices in the Church.
