Needing help from germans !
Hello, dear German Catholics—if any of you are reading this /r, I could use your help.
I’m French and moved to Germany about a year ago. I met my partner here and am now lucky enough to be part of a family in Germany. But as we all know, family life comes with its share of difficult moments. I was there with them at a funeral a few weeks ago and felt really awkward because I couldn’t really “participate in the ceremony properly” since I didn’t know the phrases and prayers by heart in German.
Can you give me some guidance on what I need to learn? If you have, for example, something for children with the main prayers written on it, I'd love to have it!
Are the phrases and prayers basically the same as in French? We have the “Our Father” as well as the “Universal Prayer” (sorry if the translation isn't quite right).
Thanks !!
