• • • Faith Formation News • • • From the Pastor’s Desk

My Dear Parish Family,

The real miracle of Pentecost is one of listening:

God’s Spirit overcomes the barriers of language and per-

ception, opening not only the crowds’ minds but their

hearts to hear the word of God spoken by Peter and the

Twelve. In the Pentecost moment, the church comes into

being. As that first gathering of Jesus’ friends experienced

his Spirit in wind and fire, that same Spirit “speaks” to us.

Through the Spirit, God has formed us into a community,

an instrument for bringing his life and love into our world.

Today we celebrate the presence of God’s life-giving

breath infusing the church with the music of his divinity. In

Jesus’ breathing upon his disciples on Easter night the new

life of the Spirit, the community of the resurrection – the

church – takes flight. That same Spirit continues to “blow”

through today’s church to give life to our mission to preach

the Gospel to very nation, to proclaim forgiveness in God’s

name, to immerse all of humanity into the love of God

manifested by Jesus’ resurrection.

In Christ’s Peace,

Fr. Walter

In your hands, Lord, we commend the souls of our

recently departed, especially; Marjorie Hicks

Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord�.
