Beauty of the Catholic Faith

The beauty and genius of the (English) Catholic faith is this: with the same words peasant, plumber, accountant, and Queen are baptized, married, and buried. The Queen prays the same morning office as me, my children, and her father before her. How strong a witness of our oneness in Christ, the reality of His kingdom already established on earth, and a reminder to live in His kingdom now. In plague, in death, in new life, in the mundaneness of daily existence, the words and prayers of the Church sustain our faith and enrich our spirit.
