Prayer Hint for the Week:

Are you having difficulty coming to quiet when you pray? Try breathing slowly and pray these words: “Be still and know I am God…. Be still and know I AM… Be still and know… Be still…Be…” Slowly repeat this verse from Psalm 46 as often as you need to throughout the day… and ask for the grace to just “BE” in God’s presence in the present!

A Thought from St. Francis de Sales

“To live according to the spirit is to love according to the spirit.”

Our Mother of Consolation Parish School is accepting applications for the 2020/2021 Academic year

OMC teachers have transitioned to an online, virtual classroom style of teaching during this time of crisis. Virtual learning has maintained engagement and continuity of learning outside of the traditional classroom environment. Our Core curriculum and high standards have been maintained and our children are utilizing various platforms for a digital course of studies.

We welcome you to speak to our Principal and learn about the strength of our Academic programs and the acceptance of our 8th grade students into the high schools of their choice! For more information please visit our school website at: www.omcschool.com or email our Principal, Mrs. Patricia Sheetz. [email protected]

Thanks to everyone who supported and participated in OMC Parish School Virtual Spring Soiree!

The Feast of Pentecost

Pentecost marks the occasion of God sending the Holy Spirit upon Jesus' disciples after his Resurrection. The book of Acts describes how the disciples were gathered together in one place on the day of Pentecost. The Jewish feast of Pentecost (Shavuot or the Feast of Weeks) was a day that commemorated the giving of the law to Moses, a day soon to be marked as well by the giving of the Holy Spirit. On Pentecost, the Holy Spirit gave the disciples the strength to fulfill their commission to spread the Good News of Jesus. The Solemnity of Pentecost, which crowns and fulfills the Easter season, is a good time to pray for a deeper indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

Prayer to the Holy Spirit

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful. And kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And you shall renew the face of the earth.

Virtual Spiritual Community With the upcoming celebration of Pentecost, we remember that Jesus sent his Spirit into our world and no amount of social distancing can hold back the Spirit of God within us and among us. Even as we plan to open the parish in stages, we know some will not be able to fully participate for a variety of reasons. If you would like to connect with other parishioners for a virtual spiritual community, please email Diane Maguire at [email protected] by Monday, June 1.

A Salesian Perspective

The Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit - DeSales Spirituality Services -

Holy Spirit and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. “Some people speak of them as fruits,” wrote St. Francis de Sales. “The description that St. Paul gives them in his letter to the Galatians is: a harvest of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, forbearance, gentleness, faith, courtesy, temperateness, purity.” Other people think of them as gifts, dividing them into wisdom knowledge, and the like, as St. Paul does in his first Letter to the Corinthians. For my purpose here, I shall simply group them together under the seven gifts mentioned by Isaiah.” (Pulpit and Pew, p. 145) Speaking of gifts, the gift that Francis de Sales gives us is an appreciation of how the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit work together in helping us to climb the ladder of devotion. No mere intellectual appreciation here; no, Francis offers us a sure path for growing in holiness. “The first of the Holy Spirit’s gifts, the first rung as we begin to work our way up the ladder, is the gift of fear. This fear is of two kinds: a lower sort and a higher one, as I call them. In this, we fear God in two ways: as the one who punishes evildoers, or as the one who rewards the virtuous. This gift of fear goes straight to the heart, and incites it to yield the fruit of repentance.” (Ibid) Fear is the beginning of wisdom. But there are five more steps in between.

“The second gift of the Holy Spirit is piety. The gift of piety is a specific virtue connected with justice. It comes down to a simple matter of doing justice: of giving due honor, reverence and love, not only to God as our supreme creator and loving Father, but to our brothers and sisters as well.” (Ibid) Piety is not about doing extra. Piety is about being just: giving others their due. The Holy Spirit’s third gift — still working our way upwards — is the gift of knowledge.” This gift surpasses rhetorical knowledge. “This knowledge is essential if we are to make full use of the first two gifts: we need to know how to behave towards the God we mean to fear and love. We need to know how to avoid evil; we need to know how to accomplish good.” (Ibid) This knowledge enables us to recognize those things that lead to death, as well as those things that give life. “After the gift of knowledge comes fortitude, the fourth gift. This is absolutely essential to us. The ability to tell good from evil is of little use if we lack the strength to engage the one and avoid the other.” (Ibid) The next gift, as we continue to climb, is the gift of counsel: fortitude, without counsel, would be rashness. While fear causes us to break away from sinful habits and knowledge helps us to see what is wrong, we still need the assistance of counsel if we are to

tackle what knowledge has taught us.” (Ibid) Five down (or up)! Two to go. “What follows is the gift of understanding. This gift enables us to see and penetrate the beauty and the perfection of the mysteries of faith. While we might listen to sermons and read very widely, we can easily remain ignorant of divine mysteries if we lack the gift of understanding.” “Following the gift of understanding is the gift of wisdom, which gratifies the soul with every blessing. This gift helps us to see deeply the excellence of God’s law: not to talk or to preach about it, but to practice it.” (Ibid) Of course, these gifts are not given to us that we might enrich ourselves alone. In his Treatise on the Love of God, Francis wrote that these seven gifts must ultimately benefit others through our practice of the twelve fruits of the Spirit; and by living a life of Beatitude. On which rung on the ladder of devotion do you find yourself today?
