​DIOCESAN WEBSITE: UNITED IN FAITH

PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS

O God, Father of all Mercies,
Provider of a bountiful Harvest,
send Your Graces upon those
You have called to gather the fruits of Your labor;
preserve and strengthen them in their lifelong service of you.

Open the hearts of Your children
that they may discern Your Holy Will;
inspire in them a love and desire to surrender themselves
to serving others in the name of Your son, Jesus Christ.

Teach all Your faithful to follow their respective paths in life
guided by Your Divine Word and Truth.
Through the intercession of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary,
all the Angels, and Saints, humbly hear our prayers
and grant Your Church's needs, through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
THE 2026 CATHOLIC MINISTRIES DRIVE, BEGINS THROUGHOUT OUR DIOCESE. This year’s theme, Sent To Serve, reminds us that, by virtue of our baptism, each of us has been Sent To Serve, entrusted with gifts that are meant to be shared for the good of others. Saint Peter teaches us, “As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God’s varied grace” (1 Peter 4:10). Our Catholic Ministries Drive supports 9 ministries throughout our Diocese, which all fall into one of three main focuses of evangelization, serving those in need, or formation of our priests and deacons. Please reflect on Bishop Mark’s invitation when it arrives in your mail and prayerfully consider supporting our diocesan ministries. You may return your pledge card and donation through the mail;  in the offertory at your parish; or make your donation online. All contributions received beyond the parish goal will be used for your parish. The Target amounts for 2026 are: Resurrection Parish, $27,000.00 and St. Clare of Assisi Parish, $7,600.00.

Dear God, during these forty days let us not focus on the things we are “giving up."  Let us focus on the One who “gave it all up” for us. Renew our minds and draw us back to our first love. Prepare our hearts for Easter, for Your sacrifice and for Your Resurrection! Amen.

Sunday’s readings on this third Sunday of Lent presents us with the theme of “thirst” and show us that a stewardship way of life can both satisfy our spiritual thirst for Christ and help us to satisfy Christ’s thirst for souls.
 
For some mysterious reason, God has chosen to include us in His plan for bringing all people to salvation through Him. We live out our part in His plan through a stewardship way of life. It is an indescribable privilege to live this way. Yet, our Lord does not wish us to be concerned about our unworthiness for such a high calling. He demonstrates this throughout the Scriptures by calling the “unworthy.” In today’s passage, He chooses the Samaritan women. She is a woman with a “past” and even a current living situation that is scandalous. But He calls her to conversion, and she responds to His call, becoming a disciple for her whole village.
 
He is calling to us too, to live as His modern-day disciples. This Lent, let us resolve to respond to His call with passion and commitment. Let us do our part to quench His thirst for the salvation of all.
