Pope Benedict XVI said that “praying for one’s departed loved ones is a far too immediate urge to be suppressed…a most beautiful manifestation of solidarity, love, and assistance, reaching beyond the barrier of death. The happiness or unhappiness of a person dear to me, who has now crossed to the other shore, depends in part on whether I remember or forget him, he does not stop needing my love.” Let this month be a time to extend our love to those who have died.

This week we honor those who have served our nation in the armed forces. The theme for this year's celebration is "Honor." Honor reflects the military tradition of answering the call to duty...a duty to protect our way of life and the Constitution of the United States. Let us remember to thank our veterans for their service to our nation. Click here for more information.
