Jean Vanier has died at the age of 90. He spent his whole life giving hope to suffering people: "The message of the Gospel, he said, is to become men and women of compassion. If you become a man or a woman of compassion, you will be like Jesus" By Sergio Centofanti Jean Vanier, founder of L'Arche (1964), a community which supports people with disabilities, died during the night, aged 90. The community is active all over the world with about 150 centres. Vanier had been suffering from cancer and was assisted at a L’Arche facility in Paris. Pope Francis was informed of his death and the ad interim director of the Vatican Press Office, Alessandro Gisotti, said the Pope "prays for him and for the whole L'Arche community". Jean Vanier had met with Pope Francis on March 21, 2014, calling him a man of smiles and encounter. Born in Geneva on September 10, 1928, Vanier, a former officer in the Canadian Navy, also co-founded the movement "Foi et Lumiere" (Faith and Light) in 1971. He was a member of the Pontifical Council for the Laity and in 2015 received the Templeton Prize, one of the highest awards given every year to personalities from the religious world.

The words of Jean Vanier: the disabled, great witnesses of God "Our mission - said Jean Vanier in an interview with Vatican Radio (see video below) - is to encounter a world of extreme weakness, poverty and suffering, people who have often been rejected... L’Arche is a place of reconciliation where people of very different religions and cultures can meet and this transforms the lives of people with disabilities, but also transforms the volunteers. L’Arche, after all, is a place of celebration where the aim is for everyone to be happy (...) We want to be a sign of the importance of people with disabilities, because they have a message to give, but few know it: they, in fact, were chosen to be the great witnesses of God.”

People with disabilities lead us to God On the occasion of being awarded the Templeton Prize, again in an interview with Vatican Radio, Jean Vanier said: "This prize draws attention to people with disabilities, and this is important. In fact, the particular aspect of L’Arche, as well as Faith and Light, is the revelation that people with mental disabilities are super people!”

Whoever has compassion for the other is similar to Jesus Jean Vanier recalled the importance of living together: "I believe strongly that today it is necessary to create communities that live the values of the Gospel: to live together, to live the Beatitudes and to discover that the life of the Beatitudes, the life of the Gospel can be lived very simply by living together. The message of the Gospel is to become men and women of compassion. If you become a man or a woman of compassion, you will be like Jesus.”

The Gospel of Joy In another interview Jean Vanier emphasized the importance of joy: "I think the whole vision of evangelization is joyful, because we have received the Good News! The world is not only a world of violence, but the Word made flesh, God came to tell us something. God loves humanity, God is present. This does not mean that there is no struggle against evil. There is violence in the world; there is violence in me and in all of us. But Jesus is stronger and we keep the hope that He will help us.”

HOLY EUCHARIST PARISH CELEBRATES 100 YEARS! Thursday, June 20 through Sunday, June 23, 2019. Hierarchal Divine Liturgy (1:30 p.m.) and Anniversary Banquet (4:00 p.m.) on Sunday, June 23. Banquet tickets are available in the parish office or contact Bernice Hrehirchik at 204-667-2068 for tickets. Call 204-667-8866 for further information. Sunday of the Paralytic

One wonders sometimes about why the Gospel story of the healing of the paralytic was chosen for the Paschal (Easter) season. One understands why the stories of Thomas and the Myrrh Bearing Women, but the paralytic? Perhaps our incomprehension is rooted in our modern separation of Pascha (Easter) from baptism. In the early Church, Pascha was considered as the time for baptism. Even now in the Easter Divine Liturgy, in place of the “Holy God” we sing “All those who have been baptized into Christ, have put on Christ.” That might explain why all the Sunday Gospels in the Paschal season after the Sunday of the Myrrh-bearers focus upon water: the Samaritan woman finds Christ by the well, and the blind man finds salvation as he washes in the pool of Siloam. Similarly, the paralytic encounters Christ as he sat by the waters of Bethesda. In all of these Gospels, we find water, a clear echo of baptism for those to whom baptism was linked with Pascha.

Pope invites leaders of Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church to Rome

The Holy See’s Press Office said that the Pope has called the leaders of the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church for a meeting in July, as a sign of his closeness to the community and his efforts to build peace in the troubled nation.

Press Release

In the delicate and complex situation of Ukraine, the Holy Father Francis has decided to invite to Rome, on the days 5 to 6 July 2019, the , the members of the permanent Synod, and the metropolitans of the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church.

The superiors of the Dicasteries of the Roman Curia competent for the country will also participate in the meeting. In this way the Holy Father wishes to give a sign of his closeness to the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church which carries out the pastoral service both at home and in various places in the world.

This meeting will also offer an opportunity to further the analysis of the life and needs of Ukraine, in order to identify the ways in which the Catholic Church, and in particular the Greek-Catholic Church, can increasingly dedicate herself to the preaching of the Gospel, to contribute to the support of those who suffer and to promote peace, in agreement, as far as possible, with the Catholic Church of the Latin rite and with other Churches and Christian communities.
