These shameful and evil actions have harmed many innocent people, especially the young; and they are utterly inexcusable. This has also caused great pain, confusion and dismay among us all — laity, religious and clergy — who remain committed to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are sorry that you have had to endure this anguish. We support the recent announcement by Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, President of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, of a new plan that will involve laity, experts, and the Vatican to provide the strongest protection possible against predators in the Church and anyone who would conceal them. We welcome these efforts and renew our own commitments to do all we can to protect young people and others who are vulnerable, and to bring healing to those who have been abused. The three goals of this new effort are as follows: an investigation into the questions surrounding Archbishop McCarrick; an opening of new and confidential channels for reporting complaints against bishops; and advocacy for more effective resolution of future complaints. These goals will be pursued according to three criteria: proper independence, sufficient authority, and substantial leadership by laity. Our office of Child and Youth Protection continues to provide assistance to victims and ongoing safe environment training to our schools and parishes in the Diocese of Phoenix. During this dark and painful time, there is also a strong need to look to the light and healing of Jesus. Since our Lord told us that some evils can only be driven out by prayer and fasting, we invite you, as your shepherds, to join us in prayer, fasting and sacrifice for the purification of our Church. In particular, we ask that all priests, deacons, men and women in consecrated life and the lay faithful join together in fasting and prayer on August 22, the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and August 29, the Passion of St. John the Baptist. May Our Lady’s motherly care and powerful intercession bring the light of her Son to our hurting Church. United in Christ, we are sincerely yours, +Thomas J. Olmsted Bishop of Phoenix +Eduardo A. Nevares Auxiliary Bishop of Phoenix Office of Child and Youth Protection The Diocese of Phoenix is committed to protecting all young people and will continue to work diligently to keep our young people safe. We are dedicated to providing a safe environment in which every individual is valued and honored as created in the image and likeness of God. Anyone who has been a victim of abuse is encouraged to call a local law enforcement agency. We continue to pray for all those who have been harmed by childhood abuse and will remain vigilant to protect the dignity of every person. For additional information about support services for those who have been abused, please contact the Office of Child and Youth Protection at (602) 354-2396 or at dphx.org/youth-protection. 4 Twenty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time August 26, 2018 St. Monica Statue Coming Soon! This week, we celebrate the feast days of St. Monica on August 27 and her son, St. Augustine on August 28. St. Monica’s persistent prayers are credited for the conversion of her pagan husband and St. Augustine to the Catholic faith. To help foster a devotion to St. Monica in asking her intercession for loved ones who have fallen away from the faith, Fr. Chad has commissioned a statue of her that will be placed in the vestibule of the church.

The Three Kings or Wise Men come from afar to lay their gifts before Him and recognize Him as the King of Kings. Their gifts at His birth of gold, frankincense and myrrh are a reminder to us of the reality that Jesus will give His life for us. He wants us to follow in His foot- steps and give glory to His Father by making His presence be mani- fested today in our world through our way of life. In all our human weakness, we have been called by God to let His light shine in us and through us for the world. He wants us to learn to die to ourselves in order to bear the fruit that will last for all eternity. At the beginning of this new year, let’s ask God to give us the grace to be the best we can be for Him and for others. Let’s ask Him to forgive those who have wronged us so that we are not bound by the sins of others but live the truth in love and learn to conquer evil with good.

    Subscribe Past Issues Translate RSS Uniting Jews & Gentiles for Yeshua's Return Inside this Issue: Chanuka Lights in Budapest Reports from the Annual Meeting in Israel Kairos Conference and the Alleluia Community Open Days in the Netherlands Chanukah Lights in Budapest By Andrea Simonyi A TJCII Intercessor in Hungary In 1945 the Hungarian Arrow Cross (a national political party) controlled the Church and the city streets. They committed serial mass murders against the Orthodox Jewish community of Buda: its Jewish citizens; doctors and patients of two Jewish hospitals; and inhabitants of a home for the elderly. A close relationship existed between the local Catholic community and the Arrow Cross. They were like the evil shepherds described in the Book of Ezekiel who allowed wild animals to destroy lives. As an act of intercession, our group came together this Chanukah to light a Chanukiah near a church at this site. Among those coming were a reformed pastor, a Greek orthodox priest, a Catholic community leader, Messianic Jews, and a Free Church person. The Orthodox Jewish rabbi of the old people's home (also a target of Arrow Cross murders) prayed the blessings . We had spiritual battles, but we were doing this to prepare for a deeper movement of repentance in Hungary, because Yeshua himself celebrated Chanukah in Jerusalem, (Book of John, chapter 10), and because we believe that the light of the Lord shines into darkness. As is often the case, the full impact of this light is yet to be seen. The oil was a gift to us from a Messianic Jewish sister in Israel.
