| Our belief in earthly
death as the entrance into eternity, our hope in the
resurrection, our reverence for the body which remains, and our
Christian love of neighbor calls us to exercise great care in
the burial of the dead and to extend consolation to the living.
In our exercise of the corporal work of mercy of burying the
dead we show reverence for the body which was the temple of the
Spirit.
