Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam
My Dear Parishioners,
On Pentecost Sunday, as we remember the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles, bringing about a profound interior transformation and thus preparing them with the necessary spiritual gifts and
charisms to preach the Gospel to the nations, we are reminded that we share in
that one same mission: preaching the Gospel to all peoples. In order to fulfill
this responsibility, the Holy Spirit has given, and will give, special graces and
charisms to us also. Sometimes they are lying dormant in us and need to be uncovered and put into action. Other times, our Heavenly Father is longing to pour
them out upon us and is simply waiting for us to ask them of Him. Recall the
words of our Savior: “If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to
your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to
those who ask him!” Thus, Jesus calls us to ask for the Holy Spirit. As we are
to be filled to overflowing with the Holy Spirit, we should ask for an increase in
His presence and graces daily!
Recently, someone gave me a copy of the following prayer, which I have added
to my own daily prayer repertoire. In praying it, we do precisely what our
Lord exhorted us to do – ask the Father for the Spirit:
“In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I petition the manifestation of the Holy
Spirit to come upon me, that I may have faith, hope, love, strength, power, the
presence of Christ and the ability to comprehend Christ’s love at work in individual lives and within the Church. Holy Spirit, I request an increase and release of all charisms including, Wisdom, Word of Knowledge, Faith, Healing,
Miracles, Prophecy, Discernment of Spirits, Tongues, Interpretation of Tongues,
Deliverance, Inner Healing, Teaching, Encouragement, Leadership and Preaching. I ask for the seven gifts of the Spirit to be active in me: wisdom, understanding, counsel, strength, knowledge, fear of the Lord and piety. Heavenly
Father, give me all the power and authority needed today, through the Holy
Spirit, to set the captives free, just as you have commanded. I ask that the fruits
of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control be abundance today. I ask that all spiritual gifts and abilities You have given me be cleansed in the Blood of the Lamb, sanctified by the
God of Peace, and anointed by God who sealed me with the gift of the Holy
Spirit. Allow to appropriate the authority and power needed for my mission
with the fullness of Your grace and mercy.”
The phrase Jesus most used was: “Be not afraid.” The second most common
phrase of His was: “Anything you ask the Father in my name, He will give
you.” Let us ask, and let us ask often, for that most precious gift of the Father –
the gift of His Spirit.
In Jesus, through Mary,
Father Jeremy Leatherby
Deacon Lawrence
The task is daunting, to
go out and preach the
Word of God to a hostile
world. That is what the
apostles were called to
do. That is what we are
called to do.
The apostles hid in the darkness
with the doors locked. Wondering
what they were to do next. They
wondered how they were to fulfill
this mission. The Spirit descended
upon them and they broke out of
their isolation. Rushing into the
market square, they spoke openly of
God in all the tongues of the world.
We should not huddle in the dark
afraid to go out, afraid to expose
ourselves to hostility. It doesn’t
matter if the congregation, the
world that is the church, does not
like us. It does not even matter if
we do not like them.
We are the shepherds, the pastors. It
is our job. The flock is in need and
we are bearers of the Gospel, the
announcers of salvation and forgiveness. We have to go. We have a
mission. And we are not without
help or resources. The Holy Spirit
of God has been given to us to
strengthen us and gives us the grace
we need to accomplish the work
that has been set before us.
On that first day, five thousand
were baptized into the Kingdom.
And at every turn the Holy Spirit
continues to surprise and heal and
give us courage.
That first day was over two thousand years ago, imagine what we
are capable of now.
