PENTECOST
Unless the eye catch fire, God will not be seen.
Unless the ear catch fire, God will not be heard.
Unless the tongue catch fire, God will not be named.
Unless the heart catch fire, God will not be loved.
Unless the mind catch fire, God will not be known.
Before there was water, there was fire. Once in a while,
a volcano hints at the sizzling magma upon which the
whole human enterprise floats. Over eons, the surface
cooled off a bit, and rain sizzled down for thousands of
centuries, filling the oceans and sculpting the earth. We
Christians can catch God’s glory in a shimmering pool of
water, but we can also capture God’s burning desire to
fan the tiny flames of our baptismal candles into
something that will make a difference.
In Sicily to this day, there is a custom of scattering rose
petals down from the ceiling of church on the heads of
the faithful, an effective reminder of the “tongues of
flame” descending on the apostles, and a sign that the
Holy Spirit still is poured out on the baptized. It is not
merely a quaint custom, but a fairly potent sign of what
baptism does. An interesting sidebar: if you have traced
the Epiphany blessing on your doorway in chalk,
Pentecost is the day to erase it. From now on, no need to
rely on the “wise men”—you are alive in the Spirit!

SHEPHERD’S VOICE
“Peace Be With You”
On this Solemnity of Pentecost, Jesus has three gifts for his disciples and us: Peace, mission
to pursue and the Holy Spirit for the forgiveness of sins.
Twice Jesus says to his fearful and locked in disciples—“Peace be with you!” The Risen Lord
with outstretched arms, heart wide open readily gives the gifts that transform his disciples’
lives and ours. This first gift of the risen Lord—Peace—which translates as all good things,
physically, mentally, and spiritually – is all that is needed to be alive inside. This peace is a gift that the world
cannot give. You cannot give what you do not have. In Jesus, there is no room for bitterness, unforgiveness,
and revenge. Peace beyond all understanding is first his to have and his to give. He offers peace despite the
disciples’ guilt, peace despite their fear.
The second gift is a—mission—the disciples and us are sent as Jesus was sent: “As the Father has sent me, so I
send you.” We wonder where? Where else but to the world – “For God so loved the world that He gave His
only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him may not perish but may have eternal life. Indeed, God did
not send the Son into the world to condemn the world but in order that the world might be saved through
Him” (John 3:16-17). It’s the disciples and us – modern day disciples—whom the Risen Lord sends to bring life!
The third gift is the Holy Spirit, given for the forgiveness of sins. Jesus breathed on the disciples and said:
“Receive the Holy Spirit.” At creation, we read that a mighty wind swept over the waters. The creative breath
of God, the spirit of God brings life. On resurrection night, Jesus is creating his Church. Something new is being
born. It is the Holy Spirit that will be with the church until the end of time. The Holy Spirit is the gift of the Father
and the Son, given to us at baptism, again at confirmation, and whose gifts are given to the Church and its
members for the good of all, within and outside the church. Primary among these is the gift of forgiveness.
Only after the gift of peace was received by Jesus’ disciples, the gift of mission and the Holy Spirit was given.
Peace is the prerequisite in receiving the Holy Spirit and the mission. No one can give what he does not have
and so, peace can only be given and shared by one who is at peace and has the gift of peace from the
Lord. No one goes on a mission on his own; there must be someone who sent him.
To understand the Holy Spirit is to receive peace first and then forgiveness of sins afterwards. As Jesus has
forgiven them, so the disciples are to forgive too. Jesus knows firsthand that one cannot be at peace or give
peace with unforgiveness in one’s heart. Peace comes from Jesus. Forgiveness comes from that peace Jesus
gives. When we are at peace, revenge evaporates and hatred ceases, and then it is easy to forgive.
To find Jesus is to look at the cross. To see God is to wonder at his creation. To feel the Holy Spirit is to
experience true peace and receive forgiveness.
Let this be our prayer: “Lord Jesus, we thank you for the gift of Pentecost and for new life in the Holy Spirit. Fill
us with your Holy Spirit and set our hearts ablaze with the fire of your love that we may serve you in joy and
freedom.” Amen.
God Bless,
Fr. Roni Villamor

Dear Friend in Christ,
I would like to take this opportunity to personally invite
you to attend a Cursillo Weekend at Lumen Christi Retreat Center. Please pray about this, for you can only
attend a Cursillo Weekend only once in your lifetime. The
Cursillo is a personal encounter with Christ; a weekend
just for you and our Lord.
You will fall in love with the God of Love and will share
that love in your community. The Cursillo Weekend consists of talks, meditation, Way of Cross, Sacrament of
Reconciliation, Eucharist, Adoration and much more…
A priest or deacon along with a team of lay individuals
will be present for the weekend. The date for the weekend in 2014 are:
S
4—7—M ' W
The cost of this weekend is $100.00 which includes your
stay, three delicious meals a day and snacks. No one is
denied due to financial situations. Registration forms can
be found at www.htcursillo.weebly.com or at the OLR
parish office.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Father Dean Danos, Spiritual Advisor Cursillo Movement
CHRIST IS COUNTING ON YOU!
C.E.N.T.S. will be offering the Small Business Course beginning in June through Catholic Charities of the Diocese of
Houma-Thibodaux. This course is free and is designed to
help people who are interested in starting a small business.
It will be held one evening a week for nine weeks. A different
business topic will be discussed each week. Anyone who is
interested in participating may call Brooks Lirette at 8760490 to schedule an orientation appointment.
WE ARE WHAT WE REMEMBER
We are more than half way through our timeline for accepting stories and pictures for Volume 2 of the new book.
This has been a very interesting project and those of us on
the book committee are excited to be involved in the project. As we accept more and more stories, it is clear to us
that we are only scratching the surface of the history of
Larose. The subtitle of the first book was “A Story of Larose
and Its People.” But it seems like the subtitle of this book
should be “Stories of Larose and Some of Its People.”
Family Trees—Besides the veterans and personal stories, we have a section called Family Trees. Samples of the
way we are laying out the family trees can be found on the
poster board in church. If you would like to have your family
tree in the book, just give us the information. We can probably fit up to 5 generations on a page, depending on how
many people are in each generation. In some cases, because of the number of people, we were only able to fit 3
generations.
Just start by listing one married couple—perhaps yourself
or your parents. Then, going “up” the tree, list their parents.
Going “down” the tree, list the children of the central couple—and then their children. If you know dates of birth,
death, and/or marriage, include those also. Give the information to any member of the committee,
drop off the information at the church office, or simply email it to Tommy Robichaux at tommyr@viscom.net. We can’t
include everyone’s picture, but we probably have room to include pictures of the
central couple and their parents if you
want to include photos in your submission.

At last! The power hinted at and the Spirit promised are
unleashed on this holy day. We call it the birthday of the
church. Try to listen to today’s scripture passages with
some sense of how electrifying these events must have
been to those who lived through them. Up until now, they
have been waiting in the upper room. In today’s first reading, that room is filled with wind and fire and bold proclamations in foreign tongues.
In the second reading, Paul describes the Pentecost
event, too. His description includes all of us. The Spirit
lives on in the church in each of us who are members of
the Body of Christ, given different gifts from the same Spirit. Only after Pentecost could the apostles look back and
understand what Jesus meant when he said, as reported
in today’s Gospel reading, “Receive the Holy Spirit.”
