PENTECOST SUNDAY

When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled, they were all in one place together. And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were. Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim.

(Acts 2:1-4)

With this dramatic description from today’s first […]

SEVENTH SUNDAY OF EASTER

One of my favorite books on prayer is entitled Teach us to Pray, by Louis Evely. As he begins his book, the author writes: “Too many Christians regard God as pilots regard their parachute, namely, good if needed, but better if they can get along without it.” In our very busy world, and our culture of self-sufficiency, many of us find that we pray only when we’re faced with a situation that’s beyond our control. And yet, regular, ongoing prayer is so important. It unites us to God, who is […]

MANNA BAGS

Throughout the year, you are invited and encouraged to participate in a variety of food drives, both here in our parish and – I’m sure – from a number of charitable agencies in our area and around the world.

SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER (Year A)

John 14:15 – 21

This Sunday, we hear a continuation from last week of Jesus’ address to the apostles at the Last Supper as presented in John’s Gospel. As you will remember from your footnotes, most scholars consider the section of 13:31 – 17:26 to be Johannine compositions, modeled on farewell discourses found in Greek and Hebrew literature of that time. As we quickly approach Pentecost – it’s only two weeks away – we hear Jesus speak of the coming of the Holy Spirit. I invite you to put yourselves in […]

You girls look so pretty in your white dresses and you boys look very handsome, too! Do you know why so many of you are wearing white today? When was the first time many of you wore white to church?
