What is a Mass Card or Spiritual Bouquet?

  1. A document for funeral arrangements

  2. A pamphlet about the deceased

  3. A document indicating the offering of a Mass for a specific intention

  4. A proclamation of death

The correct answer is: A document indicating the offering of a Mass for a specific intention

A Mass Card or Spiritual Bouquet serves as a document indicating that a Mass will be offered for a specific intention, such as for the repose of someone's soul. This practice is deeply rooted in Catholic tradition, where it is believed that the offering of the Eucharistic sacrifice can benefit the deceased person spiritually. The card typically includes the name of the person for whom the Mass is being offered, the date, and other pertinent details. This option highlights the importance of prayer and community support during times of loss, as friends and family can participate in or be informed about the spiritual intentions on behalf of the deceased. Understanding this context can help those involved in funeral directing appreciate the significance of such practices in providing comfort to grieving families. Other choices, while they may relate to the funeral process or documentation, do not capture the specific purpose and significance of a Mass Card or Spiritual Bouquet in honoring and remembering the deceased. The other options focus on different aspects of funeral planning or communication, but none align with the specific spiritual offering described.
