COME TO US, SPIRIT OF HOLINESS Holy Spirit, you banish fear from our hearts; you bear witness in us that we are children of God; we pray to you: Remove from our hearts the spirit of slaves; place in us the spirit of adopted children to make us cry out, “Abba, Father!” —From Come, Lord Jesus by Lucien Deiss, CSSp, copyright © 1976, 1981, Lucien Deiss. Published by World Library Publications. p. 184
Let us pray for our Fathers! Be a person of prayer. Be a responsible Father. Be a Father who is present to his family. Be a Father who knows that he is not perfect. Be a Father who loves his wife and shows it.

Sacrificial Giving: Thank You! St. James $ Sacred Heart St. Patrick CCD
RECONCILED DIVERSITY A few years ago, during Rome’s quiet summer, Pope Francis took a day off to visit privately with some old friends, whose identity took Catholic Italy by surprise: Evangelical Protestants. They welcomed Francis to their Pentecostal Church of Reconciliation, where Francis asked pardon for Catholic persecutions and celebrated the Holy Spirit’s “pentecostal work.” Unlike Satan, declared Francis, who creates division among God’s children, the Holy Spirit creates a diversity rich and beautiful. And unity; not uniformity, Francis specified, but unity in diversity. Francis named the Spirit’s gift “reconciled diversity.” Pentecost’s rich treasury of scriptural readings, for Saturday’s vigil and Sunday’s morning liturgy, traces the Holy Spirit’s work from creation’s beginning, through Jesus’ resurrection, into the church’s earliest days, now into our days. Kindled in our hearts, the Spirit’s gentle fire is ours to share generously, even with those most strikingly different from us. All hearts are Spirit-warmed by reconciled diversity.

The materialism of our society lures us to concentrate more on what we want than on what God wants for us. The relativism of our world tells us that we should be tolerant of all things, that there is no absolute truth. Pray to the Holy Spirit to transform our lives and to guide our thoughts, words and actions. El materialismo de nuestra sociedad nos lleva a concentrarnos más en lo que queremos que en lo que Dios quiere para nosotros. El relativismo de nuestro mundo nos dice que debemos ser tolerantes con todas las cosas, que no hay una verdad absoluta. Oremos al Espíritu Santo para que transforme nuestras vidas y guíe nuestros pensamientos, palabras y acciones.
