2024 CATHOLIC MINISTRIES DRIVE
THE 2024 CATHOLIC MINISTRIES DRIVE. Your sacrificial gifts of prayer and treasure will make an immediate impact on ministries that focus on evangelization, serving those in need, and the formation of our priests and deacons. 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 year, our campaign’s theme is Encountering Christ. During this time of Eucharistic Revival, Encountering Christ is an invitation to grow in your living relationship with Christ in the Eucharist, to open your heart to serving your brothers and sisters, and to fulfill your holy duty of supporting the Church with gifts of your time, talent, and treasure.
Please mail your contributions to the Diocese of Altoona/Johnstown, or make an online gift by clicking the button below. 100% of your gift goes directly to these ministries. All gifts received beyond the parish target amount will be used for your parish. The target amounts for 2024 are: Resurrection Parish, $31,643.00; and St. Clare of Assisi Parish, $8,472.00.

News & Events
A PRAYER FOR PEACE IN ISRAEL AND PALESTINE
God of Comfort,
send your Spirit to encompass all those whose lives
are torn apart by violence and death in Israel and Palestine.
You are the Advocate of the oppressed
and the One whose eye is on the sparrow.
Let arms reach out in healing, rather than aggression.
Let hearts mourn rather than militarize.
God of Justice,
give strength to those whose long work for a just peace
might seem fruitless now. Strengthen their resolve.
Do not let them feel alone. Show us how to support their work
and bolster their courage. Guide religious leaders to model
unity and reconciliation across lines of division.
Guide political leaders to listen with their hearts as they seek peace and pursue it.
Help all people choose the rigorous path of just peace and disavow violence.
God of Love,
we lift up Palestine and Israel — its people, its land, its creatures.
War is a monster that consumes everything in its path.
Peace is a gift shared at meals of memory with Christians, Muslims, and Jews.
Let us burn incense, not children. Let us break bread, not bodies.
Let us plant olive groves, not cemeteries.
We beg for love and compassion to prevail
on all your holy mountains.
God of Hope,
we lift up the cities of the region: Gaza City and Tel Aviv,
Ramallah and Ashkelon, Deir El Balah and Sderot,
so long divided, yet so filled with life and creativity.
Come again to breathe peace on your peoples
that all may recognize you.
God of Mercy,
even now work on the hearts of combatants
to choose life over death, reconciliation over retaliation,
restoration over destruction. Help us resist antisemitism in all its forms,
especially in our own churches. All people, Israelis and Palestinians,
deserve to live in peace and unafraid, with a right to determine
their future together.
God of the Nations,
let not one more child or elder be sacrificed on altars of political expediency.
Keep safe all people from unjust leaders who would exploit
vulnerability for their own distorted ends.
Give wise discernment to those making decisions to pursue peace.
Provide them insight into fostering well-being, freedom, and thriving for all.
Teach all of us to resolve injustices with righteousness, not rockets.
Guard our hearts against retaliation, and give us hearts for love alone.
Strengthen our faith in you, O God of All Flesh,
even when we don’t have clear answers,
so that we may still offer ourselves nonviolently
for the cause of peace.
Amen.

Sunday's readings bring to light the daily struggle between good and evil and how we can combat this struggle through wisdom and gratitude. In our Second Reading, St. James encourages us to seek wisdom from above. “But the wisdom from above is first of all pure, then peaceable, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits.” When we seek the Lord, we will have the strength to choose good and the wisdom to properly use what we have received from Him.
When we are caught in the raging war of jealousy, fighting, and pride and begin to become enslaved to our passions, we are ultimately being ungrateful for what we have been given. We overlook the blessing God has given us and the gifts and talents He has entrusted to us.
Today, let us recall that we have an infinitely loving God who cares deeply for us. Consider all that He has blessed you with and how you can use those blessings for His glory.

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 and peace.
May loving kindness fill their hearts as forgiveness washes over them
and humankind becomes one in love.

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:
Use these Lectio Divina guides to meditate, contemplate, and pray. 
The Chaplet of Divine Mercy is a prayer that was revealed by Jesus to St. Faustina Kowalska. It is recited using ordinary Rosary beads of five decades and is preceded by two opening prayers from the Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska and followed by a closing prayer. The Chaplet of Divine Mercy is prayed on ordinary Rosary beads. See the link below for specific instructions for praying chaplet or the novena.
Use the link below to go to the Divine Mercy page. Each day, the prayers will only take about 10 minutes of your time.
