PENTECOST SUNDAY
Dear Friends –
Today, we celebrate the Feast of the Pentecost. The Pentecost Sequence is sung before the proclamation in Gospel. The sequence, in part, offers the prayer for the coming of the Holy Spirit to our lives
and our world:
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.
You, of comforters the best;
You, the soul’s most welcome guest;
Sweet refreshment here below;
In our labor, rest most sweet;
Grateful coolness in the heat;
Solace in the midst of woe.
O most blessed Light divine,
Shine within these hearts of yours,
And our inmost being fill!
Heal our wounds, our strength renew;
On our dryness pour your dew;
Our parish, this holy place is a place where so many have invoked the Spirit and have received “the
most welcome guest; sweet refreshment … rest most sweet.”
Many of you will have the opportunity to travel or to hit the shore for a weekend of rest and refreshment. Please don’t forget your spiritual home. Help us keep the doors open and the “grateful coolness” of the Spirit. Our parish is a place of refuge, a cool spot, for those with no home.
Summer also sees a decline in weekly collections while the fixed costs remain the same.
You can help by making a one-time summer gift if you are going to be away or register with Faith Direct, www.faithdirect.net, our online giving program.
May the Lord bless you and keep you in his care and inspire you with the Holy Spirit. Mil gracias –
thank you!
Peace!
Father Gil

Catholic Fiction Book Club
Lord of the World by Mgr Robert Benson
Tuesday, May 24 | 6:30 - 8:30 PM
Parish Center
Can a timeless book become timely 100 years after its first
appearance? In this profound and prescient novel, Monsignor Robert Hugh Benson gives us an imaginative foretelling of the end of the world. Since this novel appeared in
1906, many others have been devoted to nuclear disaster,
destructive comets, and other hair-raising possibilities. What
sets Benson’s story apart and makes it as readable today as
when it was written is the Catholic and biblical context that
provides the ultimate meaning.
The discussion will be led by Paulist Father James DiLuzio. 3

Queridos Amigos -
Con la llegada del Día Memorial y cálidos días de verano, también celebramos la conclusión de la temporada de
Pascua este domingo con la Solemnidad de Pentecostés. Rezaremos la canción del Espíritu Santo, que le pide al
Espíritu prometido venir a nosotros otra vez:
Ven, Dios Espíritu Santo,
y envíanos desde el cielo
tu luz, para iluminarnos.
Ven ya, padre de los pobres,
luz que penetra en las almas,
dador de todos los dones.
Fuente de todo consuelo,
amable huésped de alma,
paz en las horas de duelo.
Eres pausa en al trabajo;
brisa, en un clima de fuego;
consuelo, en medio del llanto.
Padre Hecker confió en la promesa del Espíritu Santo, para que cada temporada y cada momento de la vida reflejan la presencia del Espíritu.
Nuestra parroquia, este lugar sagrado es un lugar donde tantos han invocado el Espíritu y han recibido "Eres pausa
en al trabajo … consuelo, en medio del llanto.".
Muchos de ustedes tendrán la oportunidad de viajar o para golpear la costa para un fin de semana de descanso y
refrigerio. Por favor no se olvide de su hogar espiritual. Ayúdanos a mantener las puertas abiertas y la " brisa, en
un clima de fuego.” Nuestra parroquia es un lugar de refugio, un lugar fresco, para los que no tienen hogar.
Verano también ve una disminución en las colecciones semanales, mientras que los costos fijos siguen siendo los
mismos.
Usted puede ayudar haciendo una regalo del verano de una sola vez, si usted va a estar lejos o se registra en la fe
directa, nuestro programa de donación por internet.
Que el Señor te bendiga y te guarde en su cuidado y te inspirará con el Espíritu Santo. Mil gracias - gracias!
- Padre Gil
