Blessing of Graves: It is recommended that people have Masses said for their loved ones at anniversary time and any special occasion of remembrance but also as soon as a loved one, neighbour, relative or friend passes away. Maccabees 12:46 "It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead.

Once a Grave is blessed it is always blessed it never becomes unblessed.

Sunday 17th of May is World Communication Day.

Basically, the message is a reminder that real people matter more than technology.

While AI (artificial intelligence) and digital tools are every-where, the Vatican wants to make sure we don't lose the "human touch." Here is the message broken down simply:

o People over Pixels: Don't let AI-generated voices or fake faces (deepfakes) replace real human connection. Your unique voice and face are what make you.

o Heart over Algorithms (a recipe for computers directing the computer how to present or interpret something): Technology can process data, but it can’t feel empathy or use a conscience. Communication should always come from a place of human feeling.

o Be Smart Users: We need to learn how to tell the difference between what’s real and what’s computer-generated so we don't get misled by tech.

o Tools, not Masters: AI and social media should be a tool that helps humans communicate with each other, not a replacement for the people themselves or from personal contact with each other.
