The Good Shepherd

In the photo is a hand-painted icon of Jesus Christ ‘The Good Shepherd’, 6.3"×8.27", created in the icon-painting studio of St Elisabeth Convent.
The icon was ordered by our customer from a small town in the state of Maine, the USA.

The Mission of the Church

“Our Church's mission is to infuse these God-human virtues and ascetic exertions into the people's way of living; to have their life and soul knit firm with the Christ-like God-human virtues. For therein lies salvation from the world...” -St. Justin Popovic pic.twitter.com/7siwKSZZxz

Of Course a Latin View

CWR Dispatch: Full text: Pope Francis’ Easter Urbi et Orbi blessing 2021

“Dear brothers and sisters, once again this year, in various places many Christians have celebrated Easter under severe restrictions and, at times, without being able to attend liturgical celebrations. We pray that those restrictions, as well as all restrictions on freedom of worship and religion worldwide, may be lifted and everyone be allowed to pray and praise God freely.”

The crucified Jesus, none other, has risen from the dead. God the Father raised Jesus, his Son, because he fully accomplished his saving will. Jesus took upon himself our weakness, our infirmities, even our death. He endured our sufferings and bore the weight of our sins. Because of this, God the Father exalted him and now Jesus Christ lives forever; he is the Lord.
