FROM THE PARISH PRIEST - Fr Tony Maher omi
Pentecost is not a name. In Greek it is a
number, fifty. It is the conclusion of the
fifty days of the Easter season. This great
solemnity completes the mission of Jesus
on this earth and inaugurates the life of the
Church in his name.

Special Intention
Pray for Delfin Pelias (dec’d)
The two great solemnities of our liturgy are
Easter with Pentecost, and Christmas with
Epiphany. Our Christian story began when the eternal Son of God become human in the womb of Mary, a Jewish maiden, and was born as
an offspring of King David in Bethlehem. The Epiphany—and we remember that the Magi were Gentiles, not Jews—manifested that Jesus
was born as the Saviour, not only of the Jewish people from whom he
had come, but of all people for whom he had come. His mission was
universal.
Pentecost concludes the mission of the Son of God upon this earth in
his humanity, but it marks the beginning of the life and mission of
Christ in his Church. The Church is now his body, his mystical body,
filled with the life of his Holy Spirit, which is the soul of the Church.
Through his Spirit, who fills the whole Church with life and love, Christ
is faithful to his promise, “Know that I am with you always until the
end of the world.”

In this time of challenge and hope for the
Church you invite us to start afresh from
Christ your Son and to contemplate his face
so that we might recognise him in others, especially those who suffer.
In doing so may we experience a new wave of
grace, so that the light of Christ may burn
more brightly in our lives.
Attune our hearts and minds to the presence
of your Holy Spirit, that our Church may be
transformed, our relationships be healed,
and our nation grow in compassion
and justice.
With the intercession of St Mary MacKillop,
who showed us new ways of
living the Gospel, We make our prayer
through Christ our Lord. Amen.
