The Archbishop of Juba Catholic Archdiocese, Rev. Stephen Ameyu Martin Mulla, has said that Fr. Christian Carlassare, the Bishop-Elect of Rumbek Diocese is recuperating well in a Kenyan hospital and will soon be discharged.
Speaking to Radio Tamazuj this morning, Archbishop Ameyu said, “Thanks to God, he is recovering well and can now walk but he is not yet very strong. He is still in the hospital and yesterday he had another surgery to remove a splinter of a bullet which they discovered under the skin of his leg. He is now much better and might be discharged from the hospital at the end of this week.”

Dear Catholic Online Community and Catholic Online School students.
I AM HAPPY TO OFFER EACH OF YOU AN INVITATION TO SUNDAY MASS ON THE FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME in the Catholic Diocese of Tyler. The response to offering these beautiful liturgies has been overwhelming. The readings, as always, offer so much for us to reflect on. It is helpful to pray through them and reflect upon them before we assist at Holy Mass.
In the first reading the Lord promises that He will raise up a Prophet like Moses to help His people live the Covenant He made with them and stay faithful. Many believe the reference was to the prophetic movement which clearly assisted the people of Israel in critical times. Others point to Joshua who will succeed Moses, or even others to Samuel.
