Weekly Reflection

Pentecost Sunday

05-24-2026 | Fr. Jess Ty

Dear Family of God,

How do we know that we have encountered the immense love of God through the Holy Spirt?

The Holy Spirit is poured forth into our hearts to help us live as Children of God and be free from sin. How do we know that we have experienced this kind of love? There is peace and joy that we cannot explain; it changes us; to become a person that God wants us to be.
