Quotes on Pentecost
by Saint Pope John Paul II
The Church of Christ is always, so to speak, in a
situation of Pentecost: she is always gathered in the
Upper Room in prayer, and at the same time, driven
by the powerful wind of the Spirit, she is always
on the streets preaching. Mary Most Holy,
since Pentecost you have kept watch with the
Church as she prays for the Holy Spirit: remain
with us at the center of our extraordinary Upper
Room. To you, whom we venerate as Our
Lady of Divine Love, we entrust the
fruits of the City Mission, so that through your
intercession the Diocese of Rome may offer the
world a convinced witness to Christ our Savior.”
Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Novena to the Two Sacred Hearts
June 3rd—June 12th
O Heart of Jesus pierced for our sins and giving us
your Mother on Calvary! O Heart of Mary pierced by
sorrow and sharing in the sufferings of your divine Son
for our redemption! O sacred union of these Two
Hearts! Praised be the God of Love
who united them together!
May we unite our hearts and every heart so that all
hearts may live in unity in imitation of that sacred
unity which exists in these Two Hearts. Triumph, O
Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary! Reign, O
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus! – in our hearts, in our
homes and families, in the hearts of those who as yet do
not know you, and in all nations of the world. Establish
in the hearts of all mankind the sovereign triumph and
reign of your Two Hearts so that the earth may resound from pole to pole with one cry:
Blessed forever be the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus and
the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary!
Obtain for me a greater purity of heart and a fervent
love of the spiritual life. May all my actions be done
for the greater glory of God in unions with the divine
heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Hear and answer our prayers and intentions (mention
your petition) according to your most merciful will.
Amen.
Three famous men of God met on a street corner in
Rome. They were Friar Dominic, busy gathering recruits to a new Religious Order of Preachers
(Dominicans); Brother Francis, the friend of birds and
beasts and especially dear to the poor (Franciscans);
and Angelus, who had been invited to Rome from
Mount Carmel (Carmelites), in Palestine, because of
his fame as a preacher. At their chance meeting, by
the light of the Holy Spirit each of the three men recognized each other and, in the course of their conversation (as recorded by various followers who were
present), they made prophecies to each other. Saint
Angelus foretold the stigmata of Saint Francis,
and Saint Dominic said:
"One day, Brother Angelus, to your Order of Carmel the Most Blessed
Virgin Mary will give a devotion to be known as the Brown Scapular, and to
my Order of Preachers she will give a devotion to be known as the
Rosary...One day, through the Rosary and the
Scapular, SHE WILL SAVE THE WORLD."

Lay Carmelites Accepting New Candidates:
The Maronite Church rests upon the Apostles and the
love of the Virgin Mary. Every Maronite honors Mary
morning and evening, and with every difficulty sighs
Ya Adra (Oh Blessed Virgin). Carmelites also have a
deep love and devotion to Mary, and know that God
wants all of us to have a deeper prayer life and a
more intimate relationship with Him. Do you feel God
calling you closer to Jesus and Mary? Becoming a
Third Order Lay Carmelite can offer you the opportunity to answer this call.
Lay Carmelites live as mothers, fathers, students, and single people, while
reaching out to everyone through prayer and charity. We follow the rule of life
of the Carmelite order, with its trifold charism of contemplative prayer, community, and service. The prophet Elijah and Mary model for us zeal for the
Lord and contemplative prayer. By seeking God’s will in all circumstances,
we live the Gospels in our daily lives, and study together for mutual support.
Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Lay OCarm Community meets in Richardson, and is
now accepting candidates into the first year formation program. To visit or to
learn more, call Celine Powers (903) 962-0351 or Mattye Thompson (469)
500-1508.

Stewardship is about spending time with God in prayer. Prayer on
behalf of others is a gift of tremendous value that you can give no matter what your circumstances. Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing.

Attain a deeper relationship with our Lord!
What is ACTS all about?
Adoration, Community, Theology & Service.
People have credited ACTS with saving their lives, saving their marriages,
convincing them to be ordained as priests or deacons, or leading them to the
religious life, simply by opening their eyes and their hearts to God's word.
This retreat is being hosted by men of St. Mark’s parish in Denton, TX and
will be held at the Lone Oak Retreat Center in Gainesville, TX.
Cost: $190.00 (all meals & lodging included).
Contact Robert Cunningham @ 972-561-0146;
David Laubacher @ 940-300-0323
or Tom Harrington @ 940-594-6579 to sign up. Registration forms are
also in the lobby and are currently being accepted for this retreat!

WHY IS IT
A man wakes up after sleeping
under an ADVERTISED blanket
on an ADVERTISED mattress
and pulls off ADVERTISED pajamas
bathes in an ADVERTISED shower
shaves with an ADVERTISED razor
brushes his teeth
with ADVERTISED toothpaste
washes with ADVERTISED soap
puts on ADVERTISED clothes
drinks a cup
of ADVERTISED coffee
drives to work
in an ADVERTISED car
and then . . . .
refuses to ADVERTISE
believing it doesn’t pay.
Later if business is poor
he ADVERTISES it for sale.
