Pentecost Sunday
John 20:19-23 we heard this gospel on Easter; we hear it again because Easter and Pentecost are very connected. Through the Holy Spirit we come to know the risen Jesus. The apostles receive Jesus' peace and his ministry of forgiving sins. Holy Guardian Angels
Immaculate Conception
L'Ardoise Prayer and Faith Sharing Group - Glebe House following Mass on Tuesday. Feast Days: Remember that the month of May is devoted to Our Blessed Mother Mary. We can call on Mary as our spiritual mother anytime we are in need; she loves all of us as her own children. The Gifts of the Spirit: When the Holy Spirit descended on Pentecost, the apostles received the gifts of the Spirit. At baptism, we received the gifts of the Holy Spirit. These gifts are strengthened during the Sacrament of Confirmation. Wisdom, to see the world as God sees it(not from our own perspective). Understanding, to recognize that what lies below the surface is something more important than what is obvious. Judgment (counsel), to know the difference between right and wrong. Courage (fortitude), to stand up for what is right. Knowledge, to always seek the truth. Reverence (piety), to recognize what is holy and sacred and the divine presence of God. Wonder and Awe (fear of the Lord), to appreciate the mysteries of life.
