"Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

Bishop Clark teaches final lesson through Word and song

From Catholic Courier (www.catholiccourier.com)

A bishop who spent his life listening to new friends and old in the Diocese of Rochester had a final message to share.

That message was clear in the Scriptures (Isaiah 25:6a, 7-9; 1 John 3:1-2; John 15:9-17) that Bishop Emeritus Matthew H. Clark had personally preselected for his funeral Mass Monday, Jan. 30, 2023, at Sacred Heart Cathedral.

"As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love," the Gospel exhorted in John 15:9.
