SCRANTON (April 13, 2026) - The Most Rev. Joseph C. Bambera, Bishop of Scranton, is issuing the following statement on President Trump’s social media post on Pope Leo XIV:

“War divides; hope unites.
Arrogance tramples upon others; love lifts up.
Idolatry blinds us; the living God enlightens.”

When Our Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, spoke those words Saturday at a Prayer Vigil for Peace, he was speaking from the heart of the Gospel.

I was deeply saddened to read comments posted by the President about the Holy Father, and likewise dismayed when seeing an AI-generated image, also posted by the President but then later deleted, that seemingly portrays him in the place of Jesus Christ.

I am praying for the President, that he may be guided by wisdom, humility and a sincere pursuit of peace. I am also praying for Pope Leo that he may be strengthened to continue speaking boldly for peace and justice, even in the face of criticism.

Blessed are the peacemakers!

The waters of Baptism!
At our Easter Vigil we were blessed to have four people baptized at our newly installed baptismal font! The original baptismal font at the Church of the Nativity of our Lord was installed in the church in March.

Nearly 8,000 have been baptized from the water of this font over the past 100+ years, and now the grace of God will continue to flow into our neighborhood for future generations! Thank you to the many volunteers who helped get it set up and get the water flowing again!

¡Las aguas del Bautismo!
En nuestra Vigilia Pascual, tuvimos la bendición de ver a cuatro personas ser bautizadas en nuestra recién instalada pila bautismal. La pila bautismal original de la Iglesia de la Natividad de Nuestro Señor fue instalada en el templo en el mes de marzo.

Cerca de 8.000 personas han sido bautizadas con el agua de esta pila a lo largo de más de 100 años; ¡y ahora, la gracia de Dios seguirá fluyendo hacia nuestro vecindario para las generaciones futuras! ¡Gracias a los numerosos voluntarios que ayudaron a instalarla y a hacer que el agua volviera a fluir!
