Before the celebration of Mass it is a praiseworthy practice for silence to be observed in the church so that all may pray silently and prepare themselves to carry out the sacred celebration in a devout and fitting manner. Please be respectful of those around you as well as please remember that the Blessed Sacrament is present in the Tabernacle and reverence should be observed at all times.

A WARM WELCOME to all visitors and Parishioners to our Faith Community! New parishioners please fill out a Registration form, which are available on -‐ line or at the back of the Church. Thank you.

Reflection: Jesus calls us all to a relationship with the Triune God, and with one another. Christ proclaims the three-‐fold unity of God and commands that we make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. LITURGY OF THE WORD -‐ In today’s first reading, Moses instructs the people to know, and fix in their hearts, that the Lord is God. They are to keep his statutes and commandments. In Romans, Paul reminds us that through the Spirit we are God’s adopted children and joint heirs with Christ. In the Gospel, Jesus delivers the Great Commission, sending his disciples throughout the world to baptize in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Centenary Corner -‐ May Confirmation -‐ Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit changes hearts “The rush of violent wind” (Acts 2:2) that accompanies the Holy Spirit’s descent on the Apostles is an image suggesting change and force,” Pope Francis said in his Pentecost Sunday homily. The Spirit transforms the hearts of the timid disciples from fearful men, “huddled behind closed doors”, to bold men who “bear witness to [Jesus]” (Jn15:27). His action frees hearts, impels service, guides people in new directions, and makes “the lukewarm thrill to new dreams. That is what it means to change hearts”. Since the Holy Spirit provokes change that we turn to Him for a “powerful ‘jolt’ ” when “we are in need of real change”. He is “the power of God” and the “giver of life”. “How good it would be for us each day to feel this jolt of life! To say when we wake up each morning: ‘Come, Holy Spirit, come into my heart, come into my day’” – Source: Vatican News

“The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ…” – Romans 8:16-‐17 If we are heirs to the kingdom of God, shouldn’t we work to build up his kingdom? Shouldn’t we be good stewards of our inheritance, using our time in prayer, our talent in charitable works, and our treasure to care for the Church that God has left to us? Our Church is a treasured heirloom from God. Do we treat it that way? Copyright © 2018 Archdiocese of St. Louis

Pope Francis: The Holy Spirit helps Catholics to do good works by giving them the gifts they need to be effective 'salt and light' in the world, Pope Francis said at the general audience Wednesday. Like Jesus said: “You are the salt of the earth… you are the light of the world,” the Pope said May 23, explaining that the images of salt and light “make us think of our conduct, because both the lack and the excess of salt make food disgusting, as the lack and the excess of light prevent us from seeing.” “Who can really make us salt that gives flavour and preserves from corruption, and light that enlightens the world?” he asked. “It is only the Spirit of Christ!” Explaining that at the moment of Confirmation the bishop says, “Receive the Holy Spirit, which has been given to you,” Francis said the sacrament is “a great gift of God, the Holy Spirit within us.” “The Spirit is in our heart, is in our soul. And the Spirit guides us in life, so that we become the right [amount of] salt and the right [amount of] light for men.” Pope Francis spoke about Confirmation after concluding his weekly reflections on Baptism, which he said is “the first step.” After Baptism, “it is then necessary to behave as children of God, that is, to conform to Christ who works in the holy Church,” he said. “If in Baptism it is the Holy Spirit that immerses us in Christ, in Confirmation it is Christ who fills us with his Spirit,” he said. In Confirmation, Christ consecrates Catholics “as his witnesses, partakers of the same principle of life and mission, according to the plan of the heavenly Father.” Becoming involved in Christ’s mission in the world: “This is what the anointing of the Holy Spirit provides,” he continued. The Pope also explained that the sacrament is called “Confirmation” because it “confirms Baptism and strengthens its grace,” noting that in the Italian language, the sacrament is called “Cresima,” to recall the anointing with chrism oil, which confers the power of the Holy Spirit. It is also appropriate to speak about Confirmation following the celebration of Pentecost, the pope said, because the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples calls to mind the infusion of the Holy Spirit at Confirmation. “Pentecost, which we celebrated last Sunday, is for the Church what for Christ was the anointing of the Spirit received at the Jordan, or the missionary impulse to consume the life for the sanctification of men, to the glory of God.” If in every sacrament the Spirit works, it is especially in Confirmation that “the faithful receive the Holy Spirit as a gift,” he concluded. “Christian witness consists in doing only and all that the Spirit of Christ asks of us, granting us the strength to do it.”
