BISHOP'S CORNER

The Holy Spirit and the grace of confirmation

By Bishop James R. Golka

"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:8) 

These final words of Jesus before he ascended into heaven are not only fulfilled when the Holy Spirit descended upon the Church on Pentecost but are also fulfilled in every baptized and confirmed Christian who is filled with the power of the Holy Spirit.

THE BISHOP'S CROZIER: St. Peter, the papacy and apostolic succession

I was very saddened to hear of the passing of Pope Francis on the morning of April 21. He was the vicar of Christ on earth for 12 years and challenged us in many ways, especially to be joyful witnesses of the Gospel and calling the Church to go out to the peripheries to bring the mercy and love of Christ to those who need it the most. 

EL BÁCULO DEL OBISPO: San Pedro, el papado y la sucesión apostólica

Me entristeció mucho escuchar el fallecimiento del Papa Francisco en la mañana del 21 de abril. Fue Vicario de Cristo en la tierra durante doce años y nos desafió de muchas maneras, especialmente a ser testigos gozosos del Evangelio y llamar a la Iglesia a salir a las periferias para llevar la misericordia y el amor de Cristo a quienes más lo necesitan.
