La Pentecôte- 31 mai 2020

Jesus lives within us. We can change the world!

Jésus vit en nous. Nous pouvons changer le monde!

FAMILY OF PARISHES NEWS UPDATE

La Pentecôte: La venue du Saint-Esprit

sur les apôtres est une belle et célèbre

histoire d'émerveillement. Comme promis

par Jésus, le Saint-Esprit nous viendrait du

Père et du Fils et Ils seraient adorés et

glorifiés. L'Esprit du Seigneur remplirait la

vie de tous les croyants avec le pouvoir et

les dons nécessaires pour suivre Jésus et annoncer la

Bonne Nouvelle du salut jusqu'aux extrémités de la terre.

L'année dernière, le jour de la Pentecôte, Mgr Fabbro a

annoncé une année de prière dans le diocèse de London.

Il nous a encouragés à prier le Saint-Esprit pour que nous

acceptions la mission de faire des disciples du Christ par

notre exemple de foi et notre ouverture aux autres. Le

jeudi 22 mai, une neuvaine a été encouragée afin qu’en

arrivant officiellement à la fin de cette année de prière,

nous puissions entreprendre notre mission avec un cœur,

un esprit et une âme renouvelés.

COVID19 a profondément affecté nos vies. Nous

n'aurions jamais pu imaginer vivre comme nous vivons à

cette époque de l'histoire - isolés des autres. La

merveilleuse nouvelle est que, par la puissance du Saint-

Esprit, nous continuons à apprendre à tendre la main de

nouvelles manières à nos familles,

amis, voisins et nécessiteux au milieu

de nous et dans notre monde. Le monde

a changé et nous changeons aussi!

Que la venue du Saint-Esprit, que nous célébrons à la

Pentecôte, renouvelle notre conviction que «Jésus vit en

nous». Par conséquent, «nous pouvons changer le

monde».

Pentecost Reflection: The coming of the Holy Spirit

upon the Apostles is a well-known,

beautiful story of awe and wonder.

As promised by Jesus, the Holy

Spirit would proceed from the

Father and the Son and they would

be adored and glorified. The Spirit

of the Lord would fill the lives of all

believers with the power and gifts to

follow Jesus and to proclaim the Good News of salvation

to the ends of the earth.

Last year, on the Feast of Pentecost, Bishop Fabbro

announced a Year of Prayer in the Diocese of London.

He encouraged us to pray to the Holy Spirit that we would

take on the mission of making Disciples of Christ by our

example of faith and our outreach to others. On

Thursday, May 21st, a nine-day novena was encouraged

so that, as we come officially to the end of this Year of

Prayer, we might take up our mission with renewed heart,

mind and soul.

Our lives have been drastically impacted by COVID19.

Never could we have imagined living as we are at this

time in history – isolated from others. The wonderful

news is that by the power of the Holy Spirit, we are

continuing to learn how to reach out in new ways to our

families, friends, neighbours and needy in our midst and

in our world. The world has changed and we are

changing too!

May the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, which we

celebrate at Pentecost, renew our conviction that

“Jesus lives within us”. Therefore, “we can

change the world.”

Social Media/Tech Team: These are unprecedented

times which call for new creative ways of being

and connecting to people! We are still being

called to reach out to people and fulfill the

mission of the church! This is a time of uncertainty

without a doubt but also a time of unexpected

opportunities! We are looking for innovative “out of the

box” thinkers that are gifted in regards to online social

media venues and are willing to brainstorm ways to help

us navigate the new norms! If you,

time and the know how, please

Children’s Corner: Every week, Catholic

Kids Media presents a cartoon based on the

readings and Gospel for the weekend. Visit our

website to find more videos for your children. For this

weekend’s cartoon click here.

Churches are essential… we already knew that.

When the faithful are scattered in every age due to persecution, disaster or plague,

We persist in worship and service, in sacrament and sacrifice –

Feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, welcoming the stranger,

being good news for the poor, working to free the captives and oppressed.

Our highest and holy calling is to be church, not go to church.
