Frè-m ak Sè-m yo,
The late Cardinal Basil Hume wrote these rather sobering but realistic lines:We live in a rapidly changing world. Nothing is certain. One thing is: we all face death. We find all sorts of ways of forgetting about it. Yet, it is in the Christian instinct to be brave and to face the meaning of death fairly and squarely. Thinking about that is good for me. We face it because it is inescapable, one of life's harsh realitites. The Christian faces death realistically, but also knows that death is a gateway, a new beginning, a fulfillment of human life. We are men and women moving through life like pilgrims heading toward our final destination...when we shall find total fulfillment. Do not be afraid of death. Welcome it, when it comes. It is a holy thing, made so by him who dies that we might live.The Lord's Resurrection that we celebrate in this holy season allows us to view death as the Cardinal describes. This realistic view of our mortality involves considering how our Catholic funeral rites are celebrated. The Church provides many options in her rituals and it is possible to pre-arrange these so they reflect the wishes of the deceased. Pre-arrangement can also help relieve the family of numerous details after the death of a loved one and may allow them to benefit more fully from the celebration of the funeral rites.
With this in mind, I invite you to a "Funeral Planning Seminar" on Monday, April 30, in Our Lady of Sorrows Church Hall at 2:00 PM. I trust many will come and benefit from this service. It would be helpful if those interested would refer to the bulletin article and "register" for this free seminar.Avèk afeksyon,Msgr. Thomas Gervasio
