Bishop Bonnar: “The statue before us represents the sacrifices made by those in healthcare during an unprecedented and unusual time. Let us never forget the meaning of their work and ministry. Moreover, let us be grateful for them.”
Bishop Bonnar: “But if we don’t change, we die. We can never ignore the fact that the Church is a dynamic reality always at the promptings of the Holy Spirit.”
Bishop Bonnar: The National Eucharistic Revival has begun. This three-year initiative portends to be a grace-filled time in which we as a Church grow in reverence and appreciation of the real presence of Jesus in the holy Eucharist. As priests, we have a special responsibility to assist in this effort.
Bishop Bonnar: I have come to see first-hand that our priests love this Church and that they work so hard. In fact, many of our priests serve in multiple parishes or are responsible for more than one ministry. To a man, I have found that these holy men are willing to do whatever it takes to serve the faithful of this diocese.
Obispo Bonnar: “Todo lo que somos y hacemos como católicos fluye de una relación devota con Jesús en la Santa Eucaristía.”
Bishop Bonnar: I ask us all to emulate her example of faith in suffering seeking to offer our pain – like she did – for a special cause. Rhoda Wise, Servant of God,
pray for us!
Bishop Bonnar: “When we look at the life of Rhoda Wise, we know that she suffered much, but in that suffering, God spoke to her heart.”
Reflecting on the words of Bishop McFadden: “Devotion to Christ the King in the Eucharist is the source and inspiration of all Catholic action. The Church has no greater power to strengthen those souls who wish to devote their lives to the service of Christ than the Most Blessed Sacrament.”
