From the Pastor s Desk My dear Parishioners, I wish you a Happy Feast of Pentecost! The Paschal Mystery of Christ is brought to completion, fifty days after Easter Sunday, by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles, our Blessed Mother and their followers. On the day of Pentecost, we celebrate the birthday of the Church and of ours as well, as we are the Body of Christ. We celebrate the beginning of the Apostles ministry to make disciples of all nations. The heart of the great missionary commission of Christ is to proclaim the Good News to all creation and make disciples (Mt 28:19-20). The Holy Spirit builds, animates, and sanctifies the Church. The Holy Spirit enables us to turn to God in every situation, producing the fruit of holiness in our life (Gaudete et Exsultate, 15). Existential philosophers like Jean Paul Sartre argue that saying no to God is saying yes to man. But Pope Francis in his apostolic exhortation, Gaudete et Exsultate (Rejoice and Be Glad: On the Call to Holiness in Today s World) says, holiness does not make you less human, since it is an encounter between your weakness and the power of God s grace (GE 34). This holiness to which the Lord calls you will grow through small gestures (GE 16). He debunks another misconception that says holiness is only for those who can withdraw from ordinary affairs to spend much time in prayer. This is not the case. We are called to be holy by living our lives with love and by bearing witness in everything we do, wherever we find ourselves. Pope Francis says the mission of every Christian is to grow in holiness in his or her own way, and holiness is the most attractive face of the Church. How can we attain holiness? Pope Francis says, holiness does not just involve prayer, but also by how much our life has been transformed and lived out in the light of mercy. Mercy is the beating heart of the Gospel (GE 97). He goes on to say that holiness therefore is being poor at heart, reacting with meekness and humility, knowing how to mourn with others, hungering and thirsting for righteousness, keeping a heart free of all that tarnishes love, sowing peace all around us, accepting daily the path of the Gospel, even though it may cause us problems. At the time of our Baptism we are given the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and in Confirmation we are sealed with the Spirit. Let us heed the word of God and strive to be holy, for I am the LORD your God. Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am holy (Lev 11:44). God bless, Father George, MSFS COMMITTEE MEETING NOTICES Monday, May 21, Parish Center: 6:30pm Community Concerns Committee THIS WEEKEND, we take up a 2 nd collection for our Mission Co-Op weekend.

Pentecost Sunday It was a remarkable turn of events. Peter, who had denied knowing Christ in a moment of fear, is transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. Suddenly the fisherman who had stumbled along behind Jesus for three years is the head of the Apostles, preaching to everyone who will listen with a boldness that will characterize the rest of his life and ministry. How can such a transformation happen for him and for us? Presented by Dr. Tim Gray. Lectio Peter: Session 8 Find this Lectio study using the search feature at FORMED.org.
