The passages we celebrate: commentary on the Scripture texts for baptisms, weddings, and funerals

As believers, we celebrate many transitions in our lives: from original sin to new life, from single life to married live, and from this life to death and everlasting life.

Patricia Datchuk Snchez has written a commentary on each of the more than 100 scripture selections we use to celebrate these passages of our livesthose graced moments we know as baptisms, weddings and funerals.

The commentaries are meant to be a help for those who minister to others when these moments are celebrated: those who prepare the families to celebrate, those who proclaim the Word, those who preach the Word, and those who break open the Word in song and celebration.
