Third Sunday of the Pentecost Season May 25th, 2008
Gospel: John 14: 21 – 27 Readings: 1 Corinthians 2: 1 – 10
The coming of the Spirit upon the disciples, the apostles, the preachers and the early Church, has reached the Church everywhere ever our present time. St. Paul didn’t care about the eloquence of his words or the appearance of the universal Church.
His main concern was Jesus the Crucified. He experienced the presence of the Spirit and his gifts in his life, his preaching and the lives and hearts of all faithful. Whoever lives by the word of God, will receive Jesus in their hearts. Jesus will teach them and reminds them about his teachings.
He will make them gradually understand their special experience. The divine inspiration is unique. It comes from the Father and was realized by the crucifixion of Jesus the Son and his resurrection. A person is not a true Christian if he is arrogant and living in hatred.

The Visitation of Mary, May 31st
Celebrated between the feasts of the Annunciation (March 25) and the Birth of John the 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 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 soul 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 for me, and holy is his Name.
Offering to the Sacred Heart
I offer You all my prayers, works, joys and sufferings in union with the Sacred Heart of Jesus,
For the intentions for which He pleads and offers Himself in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass,
In thanksgiving for your favours, in reparation for my sins,
And in humble supplication for my temporal and eternal welfare,
For the needs of our holy mother the Church, for the conversion of sinners, and for the relief of the poor souls in purgatory.
