Why has Father Joseph Walsh been Chosen May 22, 2022?
According to Father Joseph Walsh, the apostles’ doctrine is critical for the eastern
and western Christians. It shows Christianity’s most splendid and glorious truths and
ushers people’s hearts and souls into worship. The Apostles’ creed allows eastern
and western Christians to praise God and guide the church in prayer by praising
God’s name. Likewise, the Act of Apostles played a substantial role in Gospel
preaching, encouraging people to know eastern churches’ origin, history, and

2. significance. Father Joseph Walsh says the first eastern Christians made significant
efforts to streamline the teachings of the Gospel and spread its teaching worldwide,
including in Europe. Today, Eastern Christians, especially in the Middle East,
experience the worst treatment. Pervasive persecution of Christians is ongoing in
different Middle Eastern regions. Sometimes, it amounts to genocide. That’s why the
worst experiences of Christians have prompted a migration for the last twenty years.
May 22 is an important date during Easter, and praying for our brothers and sisters
residing in the eastern hemisphere is worth everything because Eastern Christians
brought us the Gospel and played a vital role in spreading the beautiful teachings of
Christianity.
Christian Unity Through Prayer
Father Joseph Walsh says the Holy Bible is clear about Christianity’s mission. It is
about sharing the Gospel with Christians worldwide, including those living in the
Eastern and Western hemispheres. Sharing the Gospel with all Christians, caring for
people in need, and worshipping together with encouraging, living, and admonishing
eastern and western Christians in God’s truth is the primary goal. Father Joseph
Walsh invites all western Christians to pray for peace, prosperity, harmony,
compassion, and unity worldwide, particularly in the Middle East, where our brothers,
sisters, and children suffer the most. Let us pray together for our Christian
community in the Middle East.

3. Father, strengthen our faith and give us the courage to support our Eastern
communities. Father, alleviate their pain and suffering and bless them with peace
and prosperity. Inspire us by our Eastern Christians’ dedication to the Holy Gospel,

East.
Amen
Dear Christian Fellows! I wholeheartedly invite you to the annual international day of
prayer for our eastern Christian brothers and sisters on May 22, 2022, the 6th
Sunday of Easter. I invite Christians from Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and
India to participate in the prayer and pray for the peace and prosperity of our
Christian communities in the world, particularly in the Middle East.
Eastern churches teach us the significance of apostolic doctrines, beliefs, and
traditions established by Jesus Christ. The bishops of eastern churches are the
successors of Jesus Christ’s apostles. These churches practice the authentic
Christian faith and pass down the holy teaching and traditions to us. Therefore, I
cordially invite everyone, including families, friends, and fellow Christians, to pray for
our brothers and sisters in the East. Joseph Walsh believes the International Prayer
Day for Eastern Christians will ease the pain and suffering of our deprived and
innocent Christian communities in the Middle East.
