From Fr. Davy’s Desk: This weekend we are celebrating the feast of Pentecost. Christians celebrate Pentecost as the end of a fifty-day Easter season, which includes the Resurrection and Ascension of the Jesus. Jesus is actively present in the world in the form of the Holy Spirit. The Apostles felt the power of the Spirit and started preaching the good news courageously. Saint Paul says that no one can even say that Jesus is Lord except in the Holy Spirit. Pentecost reminds us that the Holy Spirit is the invisible force of God within us. Trying to describe the Spirit is like trying to catch the wind. It is much easier to point to the effects of the Spirit than to say who it is. We are invited to let ourselves be drawn to go with the wind of the Spirit of God. As he comes to us he is active in us and works through us, drawing us to him in communion and friend-ship. Let the presence of the Spirit help us to feel the gifts - wisdom, understanding, right judgement, courage, knowledge, reverence and wonder/awe - which enable us to show forth in our lives the fruits of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, generosity, faithfulness, gentle-ness, modesty, self-control and chastity. Let the feast of Pentecost be a time for us to experience the fullness of the Spirit in us and work through us. This Sunday 19 children and two adults are receiving First Holy Communion and four adults will be confirmed. Let them be bathed with the Holy Spirit and I wish them all the best! Wish you all a Spirit-filled Pentecost! Fr. Kavungal Davy, CMI Mensaje del Padre Davy: Este domingo celebramos la fiesta de Pentecostés. Los cristianos celebran el Pentecostés como el final del tiempo de Pascua de cincuenta días, que incluye la Resurrección y la Ascensión de Jesús. Jesús está activamente presente en el mundo en la forma del Espíritu Santo. Los apóstoles sintie-ron el poder del Espíritu y comenzaron a predicar las buenas nuevas con valor. San Pablo dice que nadie puede decir que Jesús es el Señor, excepto en el Espíritu Santo. Pentecostés nos recuerda que el Espíritu Santo es la fuerza invisible de Dios dentro de nosotros. Tratar de describir al Espíritu es como tratar de atrapar el viento. Es mucho más fácil señalar los efectos del Espíritu que decir quién es. Estamos invitados a dejarnos llevar por el viento del Espíritu de Dios. Cuando viene a nosotros, él está activo en nosotros y trabaja a través de nosotros, atrayéndonos hacia él en comunión y amistad. Dejemos que la presencia del Espíritu nos ayude a sentir los dones: sabiduría, entendimiento, buen juicio, coraje, conocimiento, reverencia y asombro. Permítenos mostrar en nuestras vidas los frutos del Espíritu: amor, alegría, paz, paciencia, amabili-dad, bondad, generosidad, fidelidad, gentileza, modestia, autocontrol y castidad. Que la fiesta de Pentecostés sea un tiempo para que experimentemos la plenitud del Espíritu en nosotros y trabaje a través de nosotros. Este domingo, 19 niños y dos adultos recibirán la Primera Comunión y se confirmarán cuatro adul-tos. Déjalos ser bañados con el Espíritu Santo y ¡bendiciones! ¡Les deseo a todos felices de Pentecostés! Padre Kavungal Davy, CMI

praise your name in joy and thanksgiving. Grant this through Christ our Lord.
