Reflection from the Word
Acts 2:1-11
When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability.
Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem. And at this sound, the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in their own language.
Amazed and astonished, they asked, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own language? Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and converts, Cretans and Arabs—in our own languages we hear them speaking about God’s deeds of power.

NOTICE OF TRANSFER
I would like to thank all of my wonderful Parishioners, Staff, Parish Council, Finance Council and all who made my ministry very fruitful here in the Parish. I would like to bring to your attention that I have been transferred to a different Parish to continue with my Pastoral assignments. I will be moving to my new Parish in the month of July. May the good Lord continue to bless, favour and keep all of us in His peace. Amen.
Thanks everyone.

This Prayer has been forwarded to us by a Development & Peace committee member and we ask you to pray for our brothers and sisters in Ukraine:
Our Father
Our Father who art in the life of all humans who seek justice because they love their brothers and sisters and because they are your servants.
Hallowed be thy name by all those who stand up for the life of the poor and the humble, who have faith and hope in you, who fight for the respect of their dignity.
Thy kingdom come, thy reign which is freedom and love, brotherhood and justice, right and truth.
Thy will be done, you who are freedom for the prisoners, appeasement for the afflicted, strength for the tortured, liberation and life for those who suffer from violence.
Give us this day our daily bread, the bread of equality and joy, the bread of our word and education, the bread of land and shelter, the bread of food and medical assistance.
Forgive us for not knowing how to share the bread that you give us, forgive our lack of faith and courage, when out of fear, we keep silent.
And lead us not into temptation that makes us conform to the powerful of this world, and that makes us believe that we are powerless to change anything.
But deliver us from the evil within ourselves who invites us to keep our life for ourselves when you invite us to give it. Amen
- Julia Esquivel, Guatemala
Spiritual Act of Communion Prayer
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love you above all things and I desire to receive you in my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally,
Come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace you as if you
were already there and unite myself wholly to you.
Never permit me to be separated from you.
Amen
