| Pope Benedict's Prayer Intentions For May General: That Christians may use literature, art, and mass media to create a culture which defends and promotes the values of the human person. Mission: That the Virgin Mary, Star of evangelization and the Queen of the Apostles, may still guide missionaries with maternal affection, just as she accompanied the Apostles in the early stages of the Church. |
| Weekly Guide for Pentecost The Easter Season ends with Pentecost Sunday as the Church celebrates the coming and ongoing presence of the Holy Spirit. The Church calendar returns to Ordinary Time, which will carry us through the rest of the year until Advent begins a new Liturgical year. Wednesday of this week is the Feast of Saint Matthias, Apostle, with it's own special reading. The first reading for this week is from James. It begins with instruction of living our lives in Christ. In Mark's Gospel, the Pharisees are asking for a sign of Jesus' authenticity. Jesus rebukes Peter and begins to heal His disciples' blindness by teaching them the meaning of their discipleship; they must also carry their cross. Jesus lets Peter, James and John see His glory. On Sunday, the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity offers us a chance to reflect on the personal richness of our faith. |
Daily Prayer Guide for the Week
This is a wonderful week to let
ourselves really hear how Jesus invites
us into our lives. On Pentecost the
Spirit comes to the disciples-the Spirit
that comes to us.
This week we can ask the question:
"Who do you say I am?" Each day we
can ask to be more and more honest.
We can ask to get beyond the denial
we sometimes operate out of it.
It is the very love Jesus offers us, even
when we can't recognize Him or don't
feel we are worthy to accept His love.
But He returns to us over and over,
offering us His Spirit as a strength and
love right here in our lives each day.
When we feel weak we can remember
that He comes to forgive us and heal
us. All week, every night, let us give
thanks and praise for His faithful love
for us.
