An Easter greeting from Archbishop Charles C. Thompson
Alleluia! “The stone rejected by the builders has become the cornerstone” (cf. Psalm 118). Jesus Christ the Cornerstone has risen, indeed! We celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ! The fact that this year’s Easter Sunday falls on April 1 should not cause anyone to be fooled by the great message of hope emanating from the empty tomb. Having spent 40 days of Lenten prayer, fasting and almsgiving in preparation for the sacred Triduum celebrations of the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we now rejoice in his victory over sin and death.

Dialogue seeks to unite churches as ‘the One Body of Christ’
Cardinal Joseph E. Ritter, who died in 1967, is well known for championing to eradicate racism in the United States. Perhaps not so well known are his ecumenical efforts to promote unity among all Christians. In June of 1965, he became what is believed to be the first Catholic prelate in America to deliver the commencement address at a Protestant seminary graduation. The seminarians were Presbyterian. How fitting, then, that two Presbyterian ministers recently spoke at the Cardinal Ritter Home in New Albany on the continued efforts today to further Christian unity that build upon the legacy of the former archbishop of Indianapolis.

Guide to assist parishes, individuals in studying pastoral letter
The archdiocesan Office of Catechesis has developed a concise, six-page study guide for parish or individual use in reflecting upon and implementing Archbishop Charles C. Thompson’s recently released document, “We are One in Christ: A Pastoral Letter on Fundamentals of Christian Anthropology.” “I see broad potential for [the guide’s] use, ranging from individual reflection to activities and assignments that could be given to groups of young people, and everything in between,” says archdiocesan director of catechesis Ken Ogorek, whose staff compiled the guide.
