POINTING TO THE SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD

PENTECOST SUNDAY YEAR A (2026)

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/224168/fan_mail/new] This Sunday we celebrate the Solemnity of Pentecost - the day nearly 2000 years ago, when Jesus fulfilled His promise and sent the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, to the Apostles Our lady and all the other disciples to assist them continue His mission here on earth - His mission to save souls.  The beautiful thing is that the Holy Spirit has not stopped working. The Spirit still brings peace where there is fear, unity where there is division, courage where there is weakness, and hope where we feel discouraged. The Holy Spirit continues to work in our hearts and lives today. It is the Holy Spirit who can unleash the dormant gifts within each and everyone of us. If we let Him, that Spirit can make us better spouses, better parents, better children better religious, clergy or single people. He can guide us into the vocation, work, or occupation that best suits us. He can inspire our ideas and creativity -- He can enhance our  relationship with God and one another.  So perhaps our prayer this Pentecost is a simple one: Holy Spirit, come again. Open what we have locked. Strengthen what feels weak. Heal what is divided. Help us use the gifts You have given us, and help us not just to believe in Christ, but to live like people who have truly received His Spirit. And so we say: ALL: Come Holy spirt, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth. O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever rejoice in His consolation, Through the same Christ Our Lord, Amen.

WE ARE PILGRIMS: 7TH SUNDAY OF EASTER 2026

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/224168/fan_mail/new] On this Sunday we celebrate what we are here on earth - pilgrims. This Sunday the readings remind us that our true home is not in this life - a reminder that this life is a journey - a pilgrimage to our final destination- our homeland in Heaven.  In the 1st reading the Apostles after witnessing the Ascension of Jesus, made the journey from the mountain to Jerusalem. In the 2nd reading we are reminded that this pilgrimage to heaven is not an easy one but one full of spiritual dangers and suffering. And in the gospel Jesus assures us that we are not alone in this journey- Not only does He provide food for this journey - the Holy Eucharist He is says He is praying for us. He will also send us the Holy Spirit to guide and strengthen us along the way. On the week before Pentecost, let us pray for the grace to be docile to the Holy Spirit so that we can hurry the way to our true home in heaven.

LOVE LIKE A CRIMSON WORM: 6TH SUNDAY OF EASTER YR. A

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/224168/fan_mail/new] Friends in Christ, during this joyful season of Easter, we continue to celebrate those brothers and sisters who entered or were fully welcomed into the Church at the Easter Vigil. Please reach out to those in your Parish to celebrate with them, offer your continued prayers for them, or invite them to parish events.  Accompanying one another in the faith is essential, the readings will remind us today. In our busy world when it is easy to feel disconnected and alone, being with one another is a powerful way to be a vessel through which Christ proclaims his promise to never leave us. By sitting with one another in times of grief, listening to the questions of a friend who is struggling, or rejoicing with a friend in response to good news, we accompany each other through life’s ups and downs. In whatever ways possible, we are called to accompany another in their journey of faith, we do so with the promise that Christ is doing the same for us.   Please remember in your prayers our brother Henry who is grieving the loss of father.  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/224168/support]
