Working with the pastor, charity burials also are available to families who desire interment, but cannot financially afford the full cost of burying their loved one.

Yet, women who lose their baby in the first trimester often do not know their right to claim and respectfully bury what the medical community calls the product of conception after a miscarriage. No matter how early the loss, many Catholic couples long to name, inter, and remember their baby as an eternal member of the family. Catholic Cemeteries now offers burial options to answer that great desire of their hearts. For more information on the new Miscarried Baby Sections at Catholic Cemeteries, contact your parish priest or the manager at Gate of Heaven Cemetery (13801 Georgia Ave., Silver Spring, MD; ); Resurrection Cemetery (8000 Woodyard Rd., Clinton, MD; ); All Souls Cemetery (11401 Brink Rd., Germantown, MD; ), or St. Mary s Queen of Peace Cemetery (38888 Dr. Johnson Rd., Mechanicsville, MD; ).

POPE FRANCIS In the Bible we are told that Solomon, at the time of his coronation as King of Israel, had asked for the gift of wisdom (cf. 1 Kings 3:9). And wisdom is precisely this: it is the grace of being able to see everything with the eyes of God. It is simply this: it is to see the world, to see situations, circumstances, problems, everything through God s eyes. This is wisdom. Sometimes we see things according to our liking or according to the condition of our heart, with love or with hate, with envy. No, this is not God s perspective.
