For more information please visit www.catholicnh.org/they served (Mark 8:27-35) The cross is exalted honored and venerated because it brings life. But the only way we can share in this life is believing in Jesus and taking up our own cross so that death leads to life. Believing in Jesus implies sharing in Jesus death as well as his resurrection. For most of us, we readily see the crosses in our lives. Perhaps the challenge of this gospel is to see beyond our crosses to glory and life. This is the challenge of the cross: to see that glory in our everyday lives. Good surrounds all of us; the cross invites us to see that good out of pain and poverty can come a new life that has value, meaning, and purpose for self and others.

Restore, Renew Proclaim: the Hope that is Christ The Diocese of Manchester has launched a new initiative for strengthening and renewing lifelong faith formation, known as Restore, Renew, Proclaim the Hope that is Christ. What is Lifelong Faith Formation? Lifelong faith formation is a process of growing in the faith that begins with baptism. Immersed in the life of the Trinity, we are adopted sons and daughters of God our Father, brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ and temples of the Holy Spirit. Like all human relationships, developing and deepening our relationship with the Trinity happens gradually and over time. Consequently, lifelong faith formation provides opportunities and experiences throughout the entire life span to strengthen our relationship and knowledge of God, Jesus and the Spirit; to enhance our understanding of Scripture, Tradition and doctrines of our faith; and to sustain us in living as disciples of Jesus Christ. What does restored order of the Sacraments mean? Restored order means returning the three sacraments of Christian initiation to the logical order in which they were designed to be celebrated: first Baptism, then Confirmation, then Eucharist. During the first five hundred years or so of the history of the Church, it was always the case that the sacraments of Christian initiation were celebrated in this sequence. What are the benefits of restored order? First, it will highlight that the Eucharist, not Confirmation, is the culmination of Christian initiation. Secondly, with the reception of grace of the Holy Spirit at a younger age, it will give children greater courage and guidance in facing the increasing difficulties of living a Christian life. Finally, it will allow for more opportunities for parents to take their rightful place as the primary educators of faith formation. It places sacrament preparation at an age when children are naturally more open and receptive to participating with their parents.
