“The eigth day. But for us a new day has dawned: the day of Christ’s Resurrection. The seventh day completes the first creation. The eighth day begins the new creation. Thus, the work of creation culminates in the greater work of redemption. The first creation finds its meaning and its summit in the new creation in Christ, the splendor of which surpasses that of the firsu creauion.”—CCC 349

“But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: ‘Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.’”—Isaiah 43: 1

“I don’t know if you have heard about this or not but Govoner 
Corbett wants to cut access transportation for all handicapped in his July budget. I have gotten a letter from downtown Access and if this passes I will have no transportation effective Sept. 2nd. I am trying to use my stress over this and be pro active. I am trying to get over 2000 letters to his office, praying I can make some difference. I am asking everyone I know to sign a letter and also if they would consider passing it to friends, family, co-workers and in turn ask them to do the same. I would be so grateful if you would consider signing and passing this on. Thanks from my heart for your consideration. “
