Pentecost -- The Birthday of the Church
Last Sunday was the birthday of our Church!! When the Spirit of the living God inflamed the disciples into transforming their world!
Come Holy Spirit and guide us into transforming our world -- especially the small section of St. Thomas Aquinas and Holy Family Parishes!!! From our lips to your ears!!
To quote the Holy Father ~ "This is the mystery of Pentecost: The Holy Spirit illuminates the human spirit and, on revealing Christ crucified and risen, indicates the way to become more like him, that is, to be "expression and instrument of love that comes from him" ("Deus Caritas Est," No. 33). The Church, gathered with Mary, as at her birth, today implores: "Veni Sancte Spiritus!" -- "Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of thy faithful and enkindle in them the fire of thy love!" Amen.
AMEN!!! ALLELUIA!!
