Now You’re Talkin’ My Language!

Do you remember the wonderful scene in “Miracle

on 34th Street” where a sad-looking little Dutch girl gets

on Kris Kringle’s lap to tell him what she wants for

Christmas? Her foster mother explains, “I told her

you wouldn’t be able to speak her language, but she

insisted on coming anyway.”

Suddenly, Santa begins to speak to the little girl in

fluent Dutch. Can you imagine her joy? The look of

wonder and the huge smile that breaks out on her

little face says it all. And the Pentecost miracle has that

spirit, too. Maybe each one hearing the apostles’

words in their native tongues felt something like the

little Dutch girl—instant awe, amazement, joy, thinking

“How can this be happening? It’s unbelievable!” It

means “Now I understand--now things can really start

happening!”

Pentecost is about being sent out to bring the gospel

everywhere we are. But part of being sent by Jesus is

to keep the bigger goal in mind—that is, to bring about

oneness and unity wherever you go. We ARE his

hands and feet. But many churches have gotten

settled, the way pioneers settle in and stay put.

It is good to get settled—but it can lead to a static

church, which no longer feels the energy of our first

call to conversion. Young kids and teens—this is where

your energy and your creativity are really needed by

the church today. We’re all “sent”: first sent inward

for prayer, and then outward to interact with God’s

creation, God’s people, the earth and its residents.

Pretty incredible job assignment, isn’t it?

Go in peace to love and serve our God!

The Sanctuary Lamp

For Greater Glory

The Story of the Cristiada Now a Major Film

For Greater Glory provides a compelling account of a forgotten era of our continent's history. In celebrating the centrality of religious freedom and man’s need for God, it is a “must see” for all who care about faith and liberty today,” Supreme Knight Cal Anderson said. This film tells the story of the persecution of the Catholic Church in Mexico, and of the Catholics who refused to deny their faith. It is a key part of the history of the Knights of Columbus—one of the most outspoken organizations defending the Church at that time. The cast includes, Peter O’Toole, Andy Garcia, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Eva Longoria, Oscar Isaac and Eduardo Verástegui. The film’s trailer and a listing of local theaters showing the film are available at ForGreaterGlory.com

Catholic Charities in Corpus Christi sends their utmost gratitude and appreciation for your

financial support in providing critical assistance to those affected by the recent floods in Gregory, Texas. Your donations will help the most vulnerable of our brothers and sisters in

Christ. May God bless you all!

The Society of Our Lady of Guadalupe thanks all our Guadalupanas and all our

helpers who worked so hard to make our first Enchilada Dinner

a great success. We are especially grateful to Arandas Mexican Grill, Jalisco’s Restaurant, Rosita’s Taqueria, and Taqueria Guadalajara (Corpus Christi) for

their donations. We thank our Lady of Guadalupe

for her intercessions.
