This is the best way to respond to the many andcomplex pastoral challenges of the present time
In thissearch, I Rosetta Stone V3 invite you who are members of the Synod of Bishopsof the Greek Catholic Ukrainian Church and you who areBishops of the Ukrainian Episcopal Conference to make yourdistinctive contributions in close and active cooperation.With one heart, proclaim the Gospel of Christ, overcomingevery temptation to division and disagreement. Let the only"competition" between you, dear Brother Bishops, be in vyingin esteem for one another (cf. Rom 12:10) and in strivingfor holiness.Foster communion between yourselves and withyour priests in a climate of affection, concern andrespectful and fraternal dialogue. Success in the work ofevangelization dep in large part upon the quality ofthese relationships.4. In the last ten years, yourChurches have known an extraordinary flourishing ofvocations to the priestly and religious life. This calls forspecial care in the spiritual, intellectual and pastoralformation of those called to the priesthood or theconsecrated life. It is necessary first of all to ensurethat future priests have a deep spirituality, a rigorousphilosophical and theological preparation, and a solidintroduction to pastoral life, anchored in the enduringvalues of the Catholic tradition but attentive to the signsof the times. An essential condition for achieving thesegoals is the presence in seminaries and houses of formationof first-rate educators and highly trained teachers, who canensure a solid intellectual and spiritual foundation for thepriests of tomorrow. The same care needs to be given to theformation of members of Institutes of consecrated life,especially Religious women.Another fundamental task foryour Churches is a comprehensive, competent and up-to-datecatechesis of adults and young people. In this regard, youwill find Rosetta Stone Hindi great help in the Catechism of the CatholicChurch, which is a providential means of presenting theCatholic faith in an ordered and complete way to those nearand far. It should be remembered, however, that catecheticalinstruction is only one element in the much wider process ofChristian initiation, which includes, alongside proclamationof the truths of the faith, education in personal andliturgical prayer, the experience of fraternal communion andtraining for service in the Church. Only an integralChristian formation can lead to the specific goal ofcatechesis, which "is to develop, with Gods help, an as yetinitial faith, and to advance in fullness and to nourish dayby day the Christian life of the faithful, young and old",so that the Lords disciples can learn "to think like him,to judge like him, to act in conformity with hiscommandments, and to hope as he invites us to" (CatechesiTradendae, 20).5. In recent years, which have been markedby rapid and profound social change in Ukraine as elsewhere,the family has been passing through a severe crisis, as wesee in the large number of divorces and the widespreadpractice of abortion. Let the family therefore be one ofyour pastoral priorities. In particular, be concerned tolead Christian families to a powerful experience of God andto a full awareness of the Creators plan for marriage Rosetta Stone Korean sothat, renewing the spiritual fabric of their life together,they can help improve the quality of society as awhole.Pastoral care of the young is linked to theevangelization of the family.
