Pentecost Sunday
Gospel: John 14: 15 – 20
Readings: Acts 2: 1 – 21 The Church celebrates today and the following three Sundays, the incident of the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles and the Church in the upper room as promised by Jesus and talked about by the prophets.
The rush of a violent wind, the divided tongues of fire and the ability of the apostles to speak different languages is a sign of the power of the Holy Spirit who filled them and through them, the whole world.
Jesus promised during the Last Supper, to ask the Lord to send them the Spirit of truth to stay with them and in them, so they can feel the Spirit’s presence in them.
We ask the Holy Spirit today present in us, to send the peace among all nations especially in Lebanon.

The Visitation of Mary, May 31st
Celebrated between the feasts of the Annunciation (March 25) and the Birth of John he Baptist (June 24), the feast of the Visitation originated in the Church of the Middle Ages. It recalls Mary’s visit to her cousin, Elizabeth, after the angel announced that she was to be the Mother of Jesus. Filled with the Holy Spirit, these two great women recognized the power of God at work in their midst. “Blessed are you among women.” Elizabeth said, “and blessed is the fruit of your womb.” Mary replied:
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour for he has looked with favour on his lowly servant.
From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things from me, and holy is his name. He has mercy on those who fear him in every generation.
He has shown the strength of his arm, he has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty.
He has come to the help of his servant Israel for he has remembered his promise of mercy, the promise he made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children forever.
Prayer for Enlightenment
O Holy Spirit, divine Spirit of light and love, I consecrate to You my understanding, my heart and my will, whole being for time an for eternity.
May my understanding be always obedient to your heavenly inspirations and the teachings of the Holy Church, of which You are the infallible guide. May my heart be ever inflamed with love of God and of my neighbour; may my will be ever conformed to the divine will, and may my whole life be a faithful following of the life and virtues of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, to whom with the Father and You be honour and glory for ever. Amen.
