Jesus Christ is the Word made flesh and the flesh made bread; he is the seed sown, the seed received in the Eucharist. The baptised Christian is the place where this Eucharist is sown, where faith and hope live on. We can say that the faithful are fertile ground, especially if they actively receive communion and the sacrament of confession. Piety, charity and friendship are the reservoirs of water used to irrigate the faith so that it can grow.

The Eucharist represents true "love". Before receiving the sacrament of reconciliation "confession", it is necessary to make a profound self-examination. According to the conclusion of the "Council of Thirty" it was encouraged to make confession often every week up to 1 month.

Before proceeding with the traditional "exhumation", everyone must take care to use "mouth protection", and leave the grave well ventilated and sunny, before taking care of the dead inside.

The secular state does not "reject religion or belief", but rather respects and is devoted to God.
