Pentecost

 


 

“Receive the Holy Spirit.
Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them,
and whose sins you retain are retained.”

John 20:23

 

   SCHEDULES & CALENDARS
      

  Dear Friends,

            What a happy coincidence! Today we have two very special celebrations - Pentecost and Mother’s Day. Pentecost, fifty days from Easter, is the celebration of the Holy Spirit coming on the disciples. Jesus appears to them, breathes on them and says “receive the Holy Spirit”. The disciples become empowered, regain their courage and go out to live the Gospel. A loving mother has a lot in common with the Holy Spirit. When a child is afraid, she will give courage; when insecure, she will give confidence; when lonely or sick, she will give comfort. Maybe God gave us Mothers so we will understand his gift of the Holy Spirit. There are many mothers – grandmothers, godmothers, foster mothers and step mothers.  May the Lord bless all mothers today both living and deceased. Our parish begins a novena of Masses today for all the names of our mothers on the altar.

Prayer for Priestly Vocations

Father, in every generation you provide
ministers of Christ and the Church.
We come before you now, asking that you
call forth more men to serve our Archdiocese
in the ministerial priesthood.
Give us priests who will lead and guide
your holy people gathered by Word and Sacrament.
Bless us with priestly vocations so that we can continue
to be a truly Eucharistic Church,
strengthened in our discipleship of Jesus Christ,
your Only Son.
Raise up, we pray, men who are generous in their service,
willing to offer their lives and all their gifts
for your greater glory and for the good of your people.

We make our prayer in the presence and power
of the Holy Spirit, through Christ, Our Lord.

Amen.
