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.

Dear People of God,

What does it mean for our Lord to Ascend into heaven? What does it mean for us as disciples of Jesus?

The Ascension is not about Jesus leaving us, but of going ahead of us, as our forerunner, our High Priest, and our King, to prepare for us at the right hand of the Father. Far from being an absence, the Ascension is a gift of profound hope, purpose, and power.

Dear People of God,

This coming May 24th is the Pentecost Sunday, and we will be starting our Novena on the 15th. So, I want to share with you the prayer for the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit which we will be praying throughout these nine days:

Dear Family of God,

What is Priesthood and how do you share the Priesthood of Jesus Christ?

Saint Peter teaches us from the Second Reading this weekend, that you, the laity, are “a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of His own…” You share this priesthood through Baptism and anointing of the Holy Spirit in the Sacrament of Confirmation.
