FAMILY FAITH MOMENTS

This Sunday, the Catholic Church celebrates

Pentecost, the birthday of the Church. Jesus had

promised His Apostles that He would send His Holy

Spirit, and on Pentecost they were granted the gifts of

the Spirit. The Apostles were no longer afraid and

began preaching the Gospel in all the languages

that the Jews gathered there spoke. We too receive

the gifts of the Holy Spirit to guide us and help us live

a life pleasing to God.

Bringing the liturgical life of the Church home to your

family. Make this Sunday a day of celebration – wear

red clothing and have a birthday cake for dessert.

The Holy Spirit is portrayed as wind, fire, or a dove.

Make a windsock to fly outside. Draw a dove or

tongue of fire, then attach seven long pieces of red

streamers and on each write one of the gifts of the

Spirit: Wisdom, Knowledge, Understanding, Piety

(Love), Counsel, Fortitude (Courage), and Fear of the

Lord. And then hang your windsock.

ACT of SPIRITUAL

COMMUNION

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 into 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.

THE ANGELUS

V/. The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary. R/. And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.

Hail Mary…

V/. Behold the handmaid of the Lord. R/. Be it done unto me according to Your Word.

Hail Mary…

V/. The word became flesh R/. And dwelt among us.

Hail Mary…

V/. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God R/. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray. Pour forth, we beseech you, O Lord, Your grace into our hearts: that we, to whom the Incarnation of Christ, Your Son, was made known by the message of an Angel, may, by His passion and cross be brought to the joy of His Resurrection, through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

“Do not be afraid of holiness, do not be afraid to aim high, to be loved and purified by God, do not be afraid to let yourself be guided by the Holy Spirit.” POPE FRANCIS

THE STORY of the VISITATION

of the BLESSED VIRGIN MARY

This is a fairly late feast, going back only to the

13th or 14th century. It was established widely

throughout the Church to pray for unity.

The present date of celebration was set in 1969,

in order to follow the Annunciation of the Lord

and precede the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist.

Like most feasts of Mary, it is closely connected

with Jesus and his saving work. The more visible

actors in the visitation drama (see Luke 1:39-45)

are Mary and Elizabeth. However, Jesus and John

the Baptist steal the scene in a hidden way. Jesus

makes John leap with joy—the joy of messianic

salvation. Elizabeth, in turn, is filled with the Holy

Spirit and addresses words of praise to Mary—

words that echo down through the ages.

It is helpful to recall that we do not have a

journalist’s account of this meeting. Rather Luke,

speaking for the Church, gives a prayerful poet’s

rendition of the scene. Elizabeth’s praise of Mary

as “the mother of my Lord” can be viewed as the

earliest Church’s devotion to Mary. As with all

authentic devotion to Mary, Elizabeth’s

(the Church’s) words first praise God for what God

has done to Mary. Only secondly does she praise

Mary for trusting God’s words. Then comes the

Magnificat (Luke 1:46-55). Here, Mary herself—like

the Church—traces all her greatness to God.

One of the invocations in Mary’s litany is

“Ark of the Covenant.” Like the Ark of the

Covenant of old, Mary brings God’s presence into

the lives of other people. As David danced before

the Ark, John the Baptist leaps for joy. As the Ark

helped to unite the 12 tribes of Israel by being

placed in David’s capital, so Mary has the power

to unite all Christians in her son. At times, devotion

to Mary may have occasioned some divisiveness,

but we can hope that authentic devotion will lead

all to Christ and therefore, to one another.
