The Feast of Pentecost – Our Parish Feast Day

There are many different types of Church feast days. We all have our personal feast days, celebrated on the feast day of the saint we were named after. My saint feast day is October 4th, St. Francis of Assisi. The feast day for all priests is Holy Thursday as we celebrate the Mass of the Lord’s Supper and the commemoration of the priesthood. The morning of Holy Thursday all priests of the Diocese of Rockville Centre concelebrate the Chrism Mass with our diocesan bishop at St. Agnes Cathedral. At this Mass, we renew the promises we made to the Bishop, and his successors, the day of our ordination.

This weekend, Sunday, May 15th, we celebrate Pentecost, our Parish Feast Day! Pentecost is the celebration of the descent of the Holy Spirit on the disciples of Jesus after His Ascension, held on the seventh Sunday after Easter. Confirmation is our Pentecost. This is when the Holy Spirit descended on us (or will descend on us when we make our Confirmation). Jesus promised us that the Holy Spirit, the Advocate, will come to us and bless us with the grace and strength to live the gospel of Christ in a sometimes challenging world. This does not mean that our lives become easier but it does mean that we are now blessed with the grace we need. Like any other gift, or talent, we receive from God, we can choose to ignore it or make the most of it and reach our full potential.

Saint Cyril of Alexandria tells us, “By the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, Christ’s Paschal Mystery was brought to its completion. The Holy Spirit prepares us with his grace in order to draw us to Christ. He manifests the risen Lord to us, opening our minds. He makes present the mystery of Christ. And he reconciles us, bringing us into communion with God”.

St. Therese of Lisieux became a Saint not because of any major accomplishment but because she lived her entire life doing little things with a great deal of love. We can do the same! This is the grace we receive from the Holy Spirit on the day of our Confirmation.

Happy Feast Day!

Fr. Grieco

MEMORIAL DAY - MASS - SUNDAY MAY 29, 2016

Twenty three new recruits of the Pontifical Swiss Guard on Friday made their solemn oath of loyalty to protect the pope, in an annual May 6 ceremony commemorating the 147 guards who, in 1527, lost their lives defending Pope Clement VII during the Sack of Rome

The guards began the day by attending Holy Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica, celebrated by Vatican Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin. In his homily, the cardinal reminded new recruits that “such a heroic death…would not have been possible without faith in the Lord of Life. Sustained by this faith in the Risen Jesus, and strengthened by the experience of joy that the Lord gives life in fullness, I invite you, dear Guards, to have the courage to be witnesses in the world today, despite the difficulties,” the cardinal said.

“Be witnesses of Christ — even in your own homeland, Switzerland — and in a world that desires light and life but often does not have the courage to accept it, in the midst of your young peers, who hunger for meaning and fulfillment, so that you may tell them that it is worth proposing great and beautiful things, although this involves commitment, dedication and will require some toil,” he said.

Later on Friday, the new recruits solemnly swore their oath of loyalty at a ceremony in the historic St. Damaso Courtyard, in Vatican City, in the presence of religious figures, political and military representatives of the Swiss Confederation, and relatives and friends of the guards.

During the ceremony, the chaplain of the Pontifical Swiss Guard solemnly reads the oath:“I swear I will faithfully, loyally and honorably serve the Supreme Pontiff

Francis and his legitimate successors, and also dedicate myself to them with all my strength, sacrificing if necessary also my life to defend them. I assume this same commitment with regard to the Sacred College of Cardinals whenever the See is vacant. Furthermore, I promise to the Commanding Captain and my other superiors, respect, fidelity and obedience. This I swear! May God and our Holy Patrons assist me!”

One by one, the new recruits are then called by name. Each advances alone, and with his left hand grasps the Guard’s standard, holding high his right hand with three fingers open, as a symbol of the Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit; he confirms the oath: “I, . . ., swear I will observe faithfully, loyally and honorably all that has now been read out to me! May God and his saints assist me!” These patron saints of the Pontifical Swiss Guard include St. Martin, St. Sebastian and St. Niklaus von Flüe, knowns as the “Defensor Pacis et pater patriae” [Defender of peace and father of the homeland”. Swiss Guard Commander, Colonel Christoph Graf, described the 23 new recruits as “men of God, and a sign of hope in a world filled with trouble.” The “combatants rosary” is their primary weapon, he said, as they work to defend the Pope and the faith.

May almighty God bless us, protect us from all evil, and lead us into everlasting life. Amen
