May 24, 2015 1 Solemnity of Pentecost HOLY REDEEMER CATHOLIC CHURCH 1227 East Bristol Road, Burton, Michigan, 48529 810.743.3050 Holy Redeemer, Burton 2 810.743.3050 Today is the Solemnity of Pentecost. Solemnities are the Highest ranking Holy Days in the Church, and only the Paschal Triduum would outrank a Solemnity. This is one of the Holiest Days in the Church. Solemnities include Christmas, Epiphany, Ascension, Pentecost and the Solemnities of the Lord. So this is a big deal! Pentecost is also the only major Solemnity that has not been commercialized. Christmas has Santa Claus, shopping and presents; Easter has the Easter bunny, candy and Easter eggs; All Saints or (All Hallows Eve) has Halloween, costumes and trick or treat, etc. Pentecost remains a Holy Day without any distractions. Pentecost is known as the birthday of the Church. Much of our understanding of Pentecost comes from the Biblical writer Luke. Luke wrote two books of the Bible: The Gospel of Luke and The Acts of the Apostles. The Gospel of Luke is the Story of the Life of Jesus. The Acts of the Apostles is the Story of how the Church was formed after Jesus Ascended to Heaven. Some have said that it should be called the Acts of the Holy Spirit instead of the Acts of the Apostles. We always read the Acts of the Apostles from Easter to Pentecost in the Catholic Church. I highly recommend that you all consider reading the Acts of the Apostles this week. Jesus, in the Gospel of Luke, told his disciples to tarry (wait) in Jerusalem until they were clothed with Power from on High. Wow, is that how you would describe your experience of the Holy Spirit? The Words we use to describe the Holy Spirit themselves are amazing. Spirit, Power, Fire, Mighty Rushing Wind, Breath of God, River of Living Water flowing out of our inmost being, Flood, Rain, Love, and Life. Our prayers include phrases like: Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful. And kindle in them the Fire of your Love. Refiner’s Fire, my hearts one desire, is to be holy. Over the Bread and Wine at the Eucharistic Prayer we say: Make holy, therefore, these gifts, we pray by sending down your Spirit upon them like the dewfall, so that they may become for us the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. Again, in the Eucharistic Prayer at Mass we say: Humbly we pray, that, partaking of the Body and Blood of Christ we may be gathered into one by the Holy Spirit. My prayer for each of you individually, for all of Holy Redeemer, for all of the Church Universal is that we may all experience the Holy Spirit as Power, Fire, Mighty Rushing Wind, Breath of God, River of Living Water flowing out of our inmost being, Flood, Rain, Love, and Life. And that we might know that it is the Holy Spirit who makes us Holy, the Sacraments Holy, and makes us One. Jesus says, “I came to cast fire upon the earth. How I wish that it was already ablaze!” Fr. Gary McInnis invites you to come and see the Documentary, “Monseñor: The Last Journey of Óscar Romero.” In El Salvador in the late Seventies, one man was the voice of the Poor, the Disenfranchised, and the Disappeared - all struggling under the corrupt Salvadoran government. Appointed Archbishop in early 1977, Monseñor Óscar Romero worked tirelessly and in constant personal peril until the day he was assassinated in March 1980. He is the first bishop to be killed at the altar since Thomas a Becket in 1170. Pope Francis declared him a martyr on Feb. 2015. He will be beatified in El Salvador May 23rd, 2015. Please Join Us: Holy Redeemer Family Life Center, Thursday, May 28st at 7pm. Feel Free to Invite a friend. There is no charge for this event. However, bringing can goods for the food pantry would be appreciated.

He was a skilled linguist and translator, and his work made the Latin and Greek writings of the early Church Fathers understandable. Gregory VII summoned the Lateran council , which condemned simony and confirmed celibacy for the Church's clergy. Gregory decreed only the Pope could appoint or depose bishops or move them from see to see, an act which was later to cause the Investiture Controversy. Mary Magdalene de' Pazzi she is called the "ecstatic saint." she was one of the strongest upholders of the value of suffering for the love of God and the salvation of our fellow-creatures, that ever lived. Her death was fully in accordance with her life in this respect, for she died after an illness of nearly three years' duration and of indescribable painfulness, borne with heroic joy to the end. Tuesday Saint Philip Neri, Priest Sir 35:1-12; Ps 50; Mk 10:28-31 Philip often went into the catacombs of St. Sebastiano to pray. During one of these times of prayer he felt a globe of light enter his mouth and sink into his heart. This experience gave him so much energy to serve God that he went out to work at the hospital of the incurables and starting speaking to others about God. Wednesday Saint Augustine of Canterbury, Bishop Sir 36:1, 4-5a, 10-17; Ps 79; Mk 10:32-45 Patron of brewers because of his conversion from a former life of loose living, which included parties, entertainment, and worldly ambitions. His complete turnaround and conversion has been an inspiration to many who struggle with a particular vice or habit they long to break.
