 PENTECOST SUNDAY - YEAR A
HAPPY FEAST DAY EVERYONE
Let's celebrate our Parish Feast especially in the Parish Day on Sunday afternoon.
Happy feast day to Sister Teresa and Sister Margaret and all Daughters of the Holy Spirit.
The warmest of welcomes to Bishop Peter who is here with us this weekend for our Parish visitation. He is meeting with the Parishc Council, Centre Committee and all who are interested to talk generally, and also with our young people.
He will be around after Massess for refreshments, and also stay for part of our Parish Day this Sunday afternoon. Make sure you come and join us after 11.30am Mass.
The Holy Spirit is "a power for the forgiveness of sins, for the renewal of our hearts and our lives. It renews the earth and creates unity where before there was division".
"Since the first moment of her existence the Church, thanks to the power of the Holy pirit, has spoken in all tongues and lived in all cultures. With its power, the Holy Spirit ... unites divided humanity in divine charity and thus creates ... the great community which is the Church in all the world".
"The Church is always, so to say, in a state of Pentecost. Gathered in the Cenacle, she prays incessantly to obtain ever new effusions of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, ... and is not afraid to announce the Gospel to the furthest confines of the earth. This is why, faced with difficulties and divisions, Christians cannot resign themselves or give way to discouragement.
This is what Christ asks of Christians: to persevere in prayer in order to keep alive the flame of faith, hope and charity, and the longing for full unity"
Pope Benedict XVI

Leader - Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful
All - And kindle in them the fire of your love
Leader - Send forth your Spirit, and they shall be created
All - And you will renew the face of the earth
Leader - Let us pray (we pause)
ALL - Lord, by the light of the Holy Spirit, you have taught the hearts of your faithful. In the same Spirit help us to love what is right and always rejoice in your consolation. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
