May 31st Pentecost
Happy birthday to us, happy birthday to us.
This is the day when the Holy Spirit came down in tongues of fire to infuse the apostles and disciples with
knowledge and truth.
Doing so, that they could start the church which has lasted for almost two thousand years guided by the Holy
Spirit.
Our church has had a lot of problems over the years, but still has been quided by You, and the Holy Spirit,
and so continues in the truth.
We have a holy church started and continued by God Himself.
Let us rejoice and proclaim our belief in the true church, by our love and giving to others.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

Sunday WOULD YOU DIE FOR PENTECOST?
https://www.presentationministries.com/series/obob/obob-2020-5-31-en
"When the day of Pentecost came it found them gathered in one place." -Acts 2:1
Father Otto Rauschenbach, a Maryknoll missionary in South China, was killed by bandits on May 14, 1945. Because
of the war, Father Otto had to hide in the mountains. He knew that if he came out of hiding, he was risking his
life. Yet Father wanted to celebrate Pentecost with his people so he tried to return to his parish (cf Lk 22:15).
However, he was murdered before he got to his parish and before he could celebrate Pentecost Mass.
Would you risk your life to celebrate Pentecost? Do you believe that a new Pentecost is so essential for your
life that you would die for it? Pentecost is essential because, without the Holy Spirit of Pentecost, we:
* will not be united (see Gn 11:7ff; Acts 2:8ff) and the world will not believe in Jesus (Jn 17:21),
* will not prophesy, that is, we will not receive messages from God (Jl 3:1; Acts 2:17-18),
* will not pray as we ought (Rm 8:26),
* will not have the power to witness for Jesus (Acts 1:8),
* cannot say: "Jesus is Lord" (1 Cor 12:3),
* cannot please God (Rm 8:8), and
* will not have the Spirit's gifts or fruit (1 Cor 12:4ff; Gal 5:22ff).
We need Pentecost and we need a new Pentecost now. "Receive the Holy Spirit" (Jn 20:22).
Prayer: "Come, Holy Spirit, come! And from Your celestial home shed a ray of light divine! Come, Father of the
poor! Come, Source of all our store! Come, within our bosoms shine!" (Pentecost sequence)
Promise: "All of us have been given to drink of the one Spirit." -1 Cor 12:13
Praise: Praise You, Holy Spirit, for renewing the face of the earth! (Ps 104:30)

In the midst of a pandemic, a tragic unjustified death has created violent protests around the United States
creating unwarranted destruction to more innocent people. With Pentecost, we pray to The Holy Spirit for
guidance during this very pathetic period and look at all human life as made in the image and likeness of God.
