Dear Editor: In response to Peter Farley’s question (July 16) as to what happened to The Mystery of Faith acclamation: “Christ Has Died, Christ Has Risen, Christ Will Come Again,” one simple reason why it is no longer used is because it is written grammatically in the third person.

Dare We Strand Refugees?
Dear Editor: As I began to comment on reader Tom Hackert’s letter regarding immigration (July 16), I hesitated for two reasons: I was sure your office would already be inundated with protests to those thoughts and sentiments. And, I honestly could not decide on one single point to debate among Mr. Hackert’s obviously heartfelt but possibly misplaced concerns.
Newman Club Memories
Dear Editor: I am sad to read in The Tablet (May 14) of the passing of Vincent Murphy.
A Cheer for Salvation
Dear Editor: Before the new translations of the liturgy, there were three possible responses to “The mystery of faith.”
Controls on Immigration
Dear Editor: Regarding James Schwarzwalder’s letter (June 4), “Empathy for the Immigrants,” let’s be clear, no one has a “right” to come here just because they feel like it.
One Nation Under God
Dear Editor: I guess I am among the ranks of elitists that George Weigel was describing in his column (June 25).
Misrepresented by Markey
Dear Editor: Like letter writer Thomas Murawski of Glendale, (June 25), I am also angered by the accusations made against Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio by Assemblywoman Margaret Markey.
Loves Tablet, Weigel
Dear Editor: I love The Tablet and read it faithfully word for word every week. I especially love George Weigel and the column he wrote “The Confessions of a Political Elitist” (June 25) was fantastic. I believe what he wrote and count myself with pride as being in the ranks of elitists. Thank you, Mr. Weigel.
Harmony of Catholic Education
Dear Editor: Choreography in a musical like Annie (which I saw at Christ the King High School on April 30) is crucial to the success of the production. The artistry, the harmony, the teamwork (not to mention great music and great coaching) have characterized the musicals of Christ the King H.S. in my experience since 2012 when I taught religion there for one semester as an emergency replacement.
Thanks, Catholic Charities
Dear Editor: I am writing on behalf of the seniors from Narrows Senior Center. We seniors are transported by vans each day by Maddy and Samuel, the drivers. We are treated with very much respect and tender care. Many thanks! We are taken to our doctors’ appointments, trips, and in some cases, shopping.
