Holy Spirit is a community of believers that aspires to be formed by the values of the Gospel and finds its strength in coming together to celebrate Eu-charist and to be transformed into the Body of Christ. As a Eucharistic People, we who are being nourished must share the bread we have with others,

wash the feet of our brothers and sisters and welcome all who come, as Christ Himself.

Welcome New Parishoiners!

Recent biblical scholarship has been trying for a long me to correct Mary Magdalene's misconstrued reputa on as a pros tute. Biblical informa on reveals her as one of the most important disciples of Jesus, following and financially suppor ng him during his ministry. She is also a faithful witness both to the Crucifixion and the first to see the risen Jesus. Further, in John's Gospel, she is commissioned by the risen Jesus to announce the good news to his disciples. Thus, she becomes the first evangelizer and proclaimer of the risen Lord.

Her reputa on as a pros tute arose from the misunderstandings of certain texts in Luke. Luke 8:2 reports Mary as being a follower of Jesus "from whom seven demons had gone out." This passage follows Luke's story of the sinful woman, a pros tute, who bathed Jesus' feet with her tears and dried them with her hair. Since that woman is not named, there came to be an associa on of that woman with Mary Magdalene, "from whom seven demons had gone out." Thus Mary became known as a pros tute. The readings and prayers for her feast day make no men on of her reputa on as a sinner. Rather, they emphasize and highlight her role as the first witness to the risen Lord, and the first one commissioned by Jesus to tell of the good news to the disciples. Let us con nue to be Mary Magdalene to the world. © 2011 Liturgical Publica ons Inc

EVERYDAY STEWARDSHIP Over the years I have wasted a lot: a lot of money, a lot of time, and a lot of talent. Sometimes I didn't realize I was wasting these things but, after reflection, I realized I could have done more and accomplished much greater things. Of course, I think that is part of our imperfect humanity. It truly is easier for us to waste our gifts than grow them into something more. The parable of the sower speaks about the word of God that gets planted in our hearts. If the soil of our heart is rich, then the word will grow and change us. If that soil is rocky or full of weeds, the word will lie there without any impact, bearing no fruit. This parable can be applied to living a stewardship way of life as well. As sowers, we have been given the seeds of our time, talent, and treasure. We have a choice of where to plant these gifts. As good everyday stewards, we are called to plant them wisely and prudently. Oftentimes it is not enough to simply give away what we have. We need to discern the best places to sow these gifts so the maximum harvest can grow. This takes prayer, reflection, and study. Without a solid discernment process, we can find ourselves sowing seeds endlessly without much to show for it. But joyful is the person who has used one's gifts wisely, for the bounty of the harvest is great. Tracy Earl Welliver, MTS © Liturgical Publications Inc

July 16, 2017 —Marriage Minute

Have the “thorns” of life “choked” the joy out of your marriage? Sometimes the love we felt in the beginning gets crowded out by the demands of work, family and children. If this is where you find yourself, consider getting back to the basics:

• Think of a time when you felt most in love. What actions did you do? (Talk for

hours, give compliments, hold hands, give thoughtful gifts, go on dates, etc…)

• How can you do those actions right now in your current situation?

• Make a specific commitment to do one of these things each day.
