Congratulations of Miss Hannah Jackson...the winner of the Catholic Daughters of America essay contest. Hanna is the daughter of Alania and Bill Jackson, parishioners who attend St. John the Evangelist. Hannah is recent graduate of Arlington High School and was one of five contestants who submitted essays to the CDA for a chance to win a $1000.00 scholarship to help defray costs of college expenses. Hannah will be attending SUNY Oneonta in the Fall. She has been a faithful and devoted altar sever for many years and is very much involved in the FLOCK Youth Group. I’m sure Hannah will find great success in wherever God leads her. Let’s keep Hannah and all our recent high school graduates who will leave for college in the coming months in our prayers. With our loving support and prayers, I’m sure God will always keep them under his watchful care. Finally, congratulations to all those who submitted essays to this contest. Keep up the great work. You all have wonderful futures ahead of you!

Archbishop John Carroll’s Prayer for GovernmentComposed for the Inauguration of George Washington
We pray you, O God of might, wisdom, and justice, through whom authority is rightly administered, laws are enacted, and judgment decreed, assist with your Holy Spirit of counsel and fortitude the President of these United States, that his administration may be conducted in righteousness, and be eminently useful to your people, over whom he presides; by encouraging due respect for virtue and religion; by a faithful execution of the laws in justice and mercy; and by restraining vice and immorality Let the light of your divine wisdom direct the deliberations of Congress, and shine forth in all the proceedings and laws framed for our rule and government, so that they may tend to the preservation of peace, the promotion of national happiness, the
increase of industry, sobriety, and useful knowledge; and may perpetuate to us the blessing of equal liberty. We pray for the governor of this state, for the members of the assembly, for all judges, magistrates, and other officers who are appointed to guard our political welfare, that they may be enabled, by your powerful protection, to discharge the duties of their respective stations with honesty and ability. We recommend likewise, to your unbounded mercy, all our fellow citizens throughout the United States, that we may be blessed in the knowledge and sanctified in the observance of your most holy law; that we may be preserved in union, and in that peace which the world cannot give; and after enjoying the blessings of this life, be admitted to those which are eternal. Grant this, we beseech you, O Lord of mercy, through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
What is the difference between Elijah and Elisha?By Philip Kosloski (June 15, 2018)These Old Testament prophets are frequently confused with each other. There are many names of important figures in the Old Testament, and often they can be confusing. For example, in the Book of Kings there are two prophets who have a very similar name. In most modern English translations they are called Elijah and Elisha, while older translations may refer to them as Elias and Eliseus. Either way, sometimes it can be hard to know who they are and what separates them from each other. Here is a very brief rundown of who they were and specific stories that help put them into context.Elijah The prophet Elijah is first found in 1 Kings 17 and was God’s messenger to the kings of Israel, specifically, Ahab, Ahaziah and Joram. He is well known for reviving a widow’s son who had died (1 Kings 17:17-24), and for challenging the priests of Baal to a contest on Mount Carmel (1 Kings 18:20-40).
He was a man devoted to prayer and heard the voice of God on Mount Horeb in a “still small voice” (1 Kings 19:9-14). When the time of his life ended on earth, he was seen taken up to Heaven “in a whirlwind” and passed on his ministry to Elisha (2 Kings 2:1).Elisha The successor to Elijah, the prophet Elisha is first mentioned in 1 Kings 19:16. He becomes a disciple of Elijah after he is seen plowing and Elijah places his mantle on him (1 Kings 19:19). Elisha leaves everything to follow Elijah and learn how to be like him. Elisha was the messenger of God during the reigns of Jehu, Jehoahaz and Jehoash in Israel. After Elijah was taken up to Heaven, Elisha received a “double portion” of his spirit (2 Kings 2:9). This led to Elisha performing twice as many miracles as Elijah. One of his first miracles was taking the mantle of Elijah and striking the water, making it part in two (2 Kings 2:14). Many of his miracles were similar to what Elijah performed, including the miraculous multiplication of a widow’s jar of oil (2 Kings 4:1-7). When he died, a man was cast into his grave and was miraculously revived after touching the bones of Elisha (2 Kings 13:21).
