“…whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.”
 (Matthew 10:38)
Pope Benedict XVI said, “The world offers you comfort. But you were not made for comfort, you were made for greatness.” “Comfort” puts me first. “Picking up your cross and following Jesus” puts God and others first. Why settle for comfort when you can achieve greatness! Pick up your cross, ask Jesus for guidance on using your gifts and live the life God intended for you!

Pray the Liturgy of the Hours

Lectio divina is a form of meditation rooted in liturgical celebration that dates back to early monastic communities. It was a method practiced by monks in their daily encounter with Scripture, both as they prepared for the Eucharist and as they prayed the Liturgy of the Hours.
The Latin phrase “lectio divina” may be translated as “divine reading.”  As one reads and invites the Word to become a transforming lens that brings the events of daily living into focus, one can come to live more deeply and find the presence of God more readily in the events of each day. The method of lectio divina follows four steps:
  • lectio (reading)
  • meditatio (meditation)
  • contemplatio (contemplation)
  • and oratio (prayer)

Use these Lectio Divina guides to meditate, contemplate, and pray.
     Almighty God, our Rock and our Salvation, we beg you to pour out your Holy Spirit upon our nation. Heal the divisions that separate us and remove all obstacles to authentic unity.
     May you guide this great country of ours and lead our citizens to embrace one another as neighbors and fellow countrymen, created in your own image and likeness.  Give us a fresh opportunity for renewal and true solidarity for the common good of our homeland.
    May we return to our true identity as people of faith and charity. Help us to always remain One Nation, Under God, Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all. 
               Amen.
May the leaders of our world be bathed in sacred light. May all people put down their weapons and look to the heavens for truth. May loving kindness fill their hearts as forgiveness washes over them and humankind becomes one in love.
THE CATHOLIC MINISTRIES DRIVE, IGNITE YOUR FAITH FOR CHRIST’S MISSION, HAS LAUNCHED THROUGHOUT THE DIOCESE. During Lent and throughout the year, we are challenged to renew our spiritual devotions and duties, and one of those holy duties is to support the Church. This drive focuses on a select group of ministries with emphasis on the poor, families, youth, seminarians. And leadership development of clergy and laity. Please reflect on Bishop Mark’s invitation when it arrives and return your pledge card in the offertory. There will also be a donation card in the Diocese’s new magazine, PROCLAIM, Christ in your Life. All contributions received beyond our parish target amount will be used for Resurrection Church projects. Thank you for supporting these vital ministries with sacrificial gifts of prayer and treasure. 100% of your donation goes directly to these ministries. PLEASE MAKE ALL CHECKS PAYABLE TO AND SEND ALL CATHOLIC MINISTRIES DRIVE CONTRBUTIONS TO RESURRECTION CHURCH.
