CONDOLENCES
CONGRATULATIONS!
(CCC 1405) “There is no surer pledge or clearer
sign of this great hope in the new heavens and
new earth ‘in which righteousness dwells,’ than the
Eucharist. Every time this mystery is celebrated,
‘the work of our redemption is carried on’ and we
‘break the one bread that provides the medicine of
immortality, the antidote for death, and the food
that makes us live forever in Jesus Christ.’” With
this great hope we pray for our brothers who have
died:
(CCC 1227) “According to the Apostle Paul, the
believer enters through Baptism into communion
with Christ’s death, is buried with him, and rises
with him
…The baptized have ‘put on Christ.’
Through the Holy Spirit, Baptism is a bath that
purifies, justifies, and sanctifies.”’
Remember to pray for our newly baptized who
have entered into the Body of Christ;
Child of David & Christina (Molinaro) Ialenti
Alan O. Pease, 63, February 9
Pete DiCarlantonio, 93, February 9
Joseph J. Savinell, 58, February 9
Anthony Muscari, 85, February 10
May she “put on Christ, as she becomes
a member of the church.”
May they enjoy the eternal banquet the Lord has
prepared for them.
