DIOCESAN WEBSITE: UNITED IN FAITH
Pray for peace in Ukraine
Bishop Mark is asking the faithful throughout the Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown to join him in praying for peace in Ukraine as Russian forces invade the Eastern European country.
The Bishop stands united in prayer with Ukrainian Catholics in that troubled part of the world and with the local Ukrainian Catholic population here in Central Pennsylvania. During this difficult time, he is inviting everyone to join him in praying the following ancient prayer.
The Bishop offered the following comments:
“This prayer is a unique part of the spiritual heritage of the Catholic and Orthodox Christians of the Ukraine, dating back to the 10th or 11th century. It is quite similar to the Memorare prayer that most of us learned as children. As we watch the unfolding developments from Ukraine, it is often difficult to process our thoughts and feelings. That’s where a prayer like this can bring calm to our disturbed minds and hearts, and especially to our world.”

The Bishops of the United States are calling for a three-year grassroots revival of devotion and belief in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. They believe that God wants to see a movement of Catholics across the United States, healed, converted, formed, and unified by an encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist—and sent out in mission “for the life of the world.”
These three years will culminate in the first National Eucharistic Congress in the United States in almost fifty years. Almost a hundred thousand Catholics will join together in Indianapolis for a once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage toward the “source and summit” of our Catholic faith.

Year of Going Out on Mission

Today’s readings contain inspiring but challenging messages for us Christian Stewards. What a succinct description of a stewardship way of life. It sounds so simple, but does not mean easy. How exactly is Jesus calling us to love? As He, Himself, loved. That is a tall order. Living a life of service and self-sacrifice is not easy because it requires us to continuously fight against our selfish inclinations. And in the midst of living these inevitable challenging moments this way of life entails, we can be assured that the Lord who loves us so much that He died for us established the Eucharist to be our strength and nourishment.
As we face the hardships that come with living as Christian stewards, we can rejoice in the wonder of the Resurrection this Easter Season. “This is how you will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another” (John 13:35). How can you respond to Jesus this week by giving of your time, talent, and treasure?

In an attempt to gather information for the upcoming Synod on Synodality, the parishioners of Resurrection Parish and St. Clare of Assisi Parish had the opportunity to participate in two, distinct, faith-sharing groups. The groups followed the format laid out by the diocese that contained both scripture and discussion; each group met for three weeks. Father George M. Gulash is pastor of Resurrection Parish and is administrator of St. Clare of Assisi Parish.
The comments listed below are a synopsis of the combined discussions that took place within the group meetings. The members gave their thoughts of changes that should be considered by the Church to make it a more vibrant Body of the Living Christ.

Pray the Liturgy of the HoursLectio 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:
