PENTECOST SUNDAY

You remember for the feast of the Ascension, about ten days ago, you were asked to watch out for Pentecost Sunday. Well, here we are.
This is the day when the disciples who had gathered in a room, fearful and uncertain, were transformed. A powerful wind enveloped their room and tongues of fire came to rest on the head of each of them. They were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak foreign languages as the Spirit gave them the gift of speech.

What a transformation. The disciples became brave energetic preachers and evangelizers ; new men you could say.

Since then the disciples and their followers [Religious and lay] have transformed the world and continue to do so.
If you like you could call this day
'THE OFFICIAL BIRTHDAY OF THE CHURCH'.

THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD

Today we commemorate the above feast. This event occurred forty days after the Resurrection, on the Mount of Olives which is near Jerusalem.
The disciples who saw their leader work miracles, crucified, die, buried, rise from the dead, make many appearances to them afterwards must have been extremely saddened to see Him leave them again.
However he promised that He would return and that he would be with them always even to the end of time.

WATCH OUT FOR FEAST OF PENTECOST

Also, He gave them a command. He said, 'go make disciples of all the nations, baptise them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teach them to observe all the commands I gave you'.

We are the followers of the disciples.
How are we faring with the command of Jesus?. [doing our best]

MAY IS MARY'S MONTH.

The lovely month of May has arrived. May has been Mary's special month for centuries.
Mary's great title is 'Mother of God'. She was with Jesus from the beginning to the end of His life.
Devotions to Mary still flourish in many areas of the world. Marian hymns are sung,
the rosary and appropriate prayers recited, processions organised, while Marian shrines are frequently visited.

Here are the lyrics of a hymn you have often heard.. You will find it on Utube.

Bring flowers of the fairest,
Bring flowers of the rarest
From garden and woodland
And hillside and vale.
Our full hearts are swelling,
Our glad voices telling,
The praise of the loveliest
Rose of the Vale.

O Mary, we crown thee with blossoms today,
Queen of the angels, Queen of the May. [R]

Mary, mother of God, pray for us.
