Pentecost • The Spirit And The Common Good

Today we gather together to celebrate Pentecost Sunday, the Birthday of the Church. We find the history of the day in the Acts of the Apostles. The city is full with different nationalities of people. As the author tells us, they are Parthians, Medes, and Elamites, inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappodocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the districts of Libya near

FIRST READING -Acts 2:1-11The phenomenon of tongues at Pentecost was a powerful symbol that the gospel is intended for all people, all nations, all races. Even linguistic barriers were overcome by the powerful presence of the Holy Spirit.SECOND READING- 1 Corinthians 12:3-7,12-13Each person has a distinctive gift with which to make a difference. The key to joy and fulfilment is to understand how

Seventh Sunday Of Easter • The End Of The Beginning

Today is May 24th and it is a holiday weekend. On Monday we celebrate Memorial Day. As we remember our beloved dead, we hear the mandate that it is a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead. I can remember as a youngster that we went to the local cemeteries and decorated the graves of our relatives who had died. In those moment at their grave sites, we remembered those who had gone before

FIRST READING -Acts 1:1-11Luke’s account of the ascension, in Acts, marks a major transition in the New Testament. Luke’s Gospel had told the story of Jesus. Acts would tell the story of the Apostles being empowered by the Holy Spirit to carry forward Jesus’ work.SECOND READING- Ephesians 1:17-23Paul reminds us that Jesus’ Ascension not only represented the end of his human presence in the world,

Five year old Elizabeth had been told that the noise of a thunder storm was only the angels shifting the furniture in heaven. One morning, after a storm in which there had been considerable thunder and lightning, the little girl said, "You know mommy, I didn't mind the noise when the angels shifted everything last night, but I certainly didn't like it when they couldn't make up their minds

The parents of a young man who was killed in a recent military action, gave their church a check for two hundred dollars as a memorial to their loved one. When the presentation was made, another mother whispered to her husband, “Let's give the same for our boy.” The father said, “What are you talking about? Our boy didn't lose his life!” The mother replied, “That's just the point. Let's give it

Sixth Sunday Of Easter • The Demonic And The Divine

Today we gather together to celebrate the Mass for the Sixth Sunday of Easter. In the First reading from the Acts of the Apostles, we see the Kingdom extended beyond the Hebrew Nations. Peter says, “In truth, I see that God shows us partiality. Rather, in every nation whoever fears Him and acts uprightly is acceptable to Him.” While Peter was still speaking those things, the Holy Spirit fell upon

FIRST READING -Acts 10:25-26,34-35,44-48It was a tremendous breakthrough for Peter when he agreed to visit the house of Cornelius. All his life he had believed that salvation was limited to the Jews. But Peter took the gospel to this Gentile because he learned from Jesus that God loves all human beings equally.SECOND READING- 1 John 4:7-10Jesus loved both the saint and the sinner. It is God’s

It’s an easy thing this loving others. We learn the word so early in life. Tiny children are held aloft to friend and family as we beckon “Tell Auntie that you love her. Tell Grandpa you love him.” It isn’t an action we ask them to emulate, just mere parroting of phrases. And as adults we are guilty of the same. It’s enough to say what we feel, and ignore the actions that belie it. We can claim

“Too many people sit in front of warm hearths and full tables, asking God to teach them to love their neighbor. It takes no deep teaching to carry food to the needy or give shelter to the homeless.

For the Mother’s of our Parish, we wish them none

FIRST READING -Acts 9:26-31Paul was a man of great personal strength. He had persecuted the followers of Christ, casting them in prison and consenting to their death. Yet even Paul was not beyond the reach of Christ’s transforming love. And more than any other person he has taught us the meaning of union in Christ.SECOND READING- 1 John 3:18-24There is no room for self-sufficient individualism in

A teacher asked her class a question in fractions. “If your mother baked a pie for seven people, five children, and two parents, what fraction of the pie would you get?” “A sixth,” said a young boy. “But there are seven of you!” said the teacher. “Don't you know your fractions?” “Yes,” came the reply. “I know about fractions, but I know about mothers too. My mother would say she didn't want any

Michelangelo was painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel when he saw an old woman praying the rosary. He decided to take a break and lay back on the scaffolding so the woman couldn’t see him. Then he proclaims in a loud voice, “I am Jesus Christ. Listen to me and I will perform miracles.” The old woman, intent on her beads, does not look up. Michelangelo figures that she is hard of hearing

Like Mary, let us be full of zeal to go in haste to give Jesus to others. She was full of grace when, at the annunciation, she received Jesus. Like her, we too become full of grace every time we receive Holy Communion. It is the same Jesus whom she received and whom we receive at Mass. As soon as she received Him she went with haste to give Him to John. For us also, as soon as we receive Jesus in

Fourth Sunday Of Easter  • Where Are You From?

Today we gather together to celebrate the Mass for the Fourth Sunday of Easter. Our Easter celebration continues to be the central theme of the entire season. Peter stresses that Jesus is the stone rejected by the builders which has become the cornerstone. Jesus indeed was sent to the “Lost Sheep” of the House of Israel and they not only rejected Him but they put him to death by crucifixion. As a

FIRST READING -Acts 4:8-12Peter’s boldness is striking. Sometimes it caused him to respond prematurely and unwisely. As he grew spiritually, however, it became a great asset. Here he uses the healing of a crippled man to confront the religious leaders who had been responsible for the crucifixion of Jesus. He declares that it is in Jesus’ name that the man was healed and that we are all put right
