COME HOLY SPIRIT
As we near the end of the Easter Season, we begin to prepare for the great
feast of Pentecost. After the Feast of the Ascension of the Lord, the feast of
joyful anticipation (The Feast of the Ascension is celebrated on Thursday May
14th in many areas, however, in the western United States it is celebrated on
Sunday, May 17th) the Church urges us to begin a novena to the Holy Spirit.
The Novena to the Holy Spirit is the oldest novena and the only one
prescribed by the Church, since it was instructed by Jesus when He sent the
Apostles to wait and pray for the Holy Spirit. We will anticipate this novena
with a Taize Prayer Service on Thursday, May 14th at 7:30PM. In this prayer
form we meditate, chant and praise God for what has been and what has yet to
be revealed as we await the coming of the Spirit.
The Novena will begin on Friday, May 15th after the 8:00 AM Mass and
will be prayed after Mass each morning including Sunday through May 23rd.
For those who are unable to be present each day at Mass, copies of the novena
will be available in the Gathering Space so that everyone can have the
opportunity of joining with the Church as she awaits the completion of Easter in
the celebration of the Holy Spirit.
Taize Prayer Service on Thursday, May 14th at 7:30PM.

PASTORAL DIRECTION
Thank God For Mothers!
When the Good Lord was creating mothers, He was into His sixth
day of "overtime" when the angel appeared and said. "You're doing a
lot of fiddling around on this one."
And God said, "Have you read the specs on this order?" She has
to be completely washable, but not plastic. Have 180 moveable
parts...all replaceable. Run on black coffee and leftovers. Have a lap
that disappears when she stands up. A kiss that can cure anything from a
broken leg to a disappointed love affair. And six pairs of hands."
The angel shook her head slowly and said. "Six pairs of hands....
no way." It's not the hands that are causing me problems," God
remarked, "it's the three pairs of eyes that mothers have to have."
That's on the standard model?" asked the angel. God nodded.
One pair that sees through closed doors when she asks,
'What are you kids doing in there?' when she already knows. Another here in the back of her head that sees what she shouldn't but
what she has to know, and of course the ones here in front that can
look at a child when he goofs up and say. 'I understand and I love
you' without so much as uttering a word."
God," said the angel touching his sleeve gently, "Get some
rest tomorrow...."
I can't," said God, "I'm so close to creating something so close to myself. Already I have
one who heals herself when she is sick...can feed a family of six on one pound of
hamburger...and can get a nine year old to stand under a shower."
The angel circled the model of a mother very slowly. "It's too soft," she sighed. But
tough!" said God excitedly. "You can imagine what this mother can do or endure."
Can it think?"
Not only can it think, but it can reason and compromise,"
said the Creator.
Finally, the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek.
There's a leak," she pronounced. "I told You that You were trying
to put too much into this model."
“It's not a leak," said the Lord, "It's a tear."
What's it for?"
It's for joy, sadness, disappointment,
pain, loneliness, and pride."
You are a genius, " said the angel.
Somberly, God said, "I didn't put it there.”
Happy Mother’s Day to all
our dear Mothers…...
