In our Catholic cemeteries, we, the living members of the Church, gather to pray for those who have gone before us and to reflect on the great promise of "the resurrection of the body and life everlasting." We have great confidence that one day we will be reunited with our deceased loved ones. All those baptized in the faith share in this great promise. Catholic cemeteries are visible signs of Christ's promises to His Church and of our unwavering hope in the fulfillment of those promises.
