Fr. Ron’s Ramblings!
!
This! weekend as we gather together we celebrate the wonderful feast of Pentecost, traditionally known as the birthday of the church. As the apostles were huddled in that
!upper room, anxious and expectant, Jesus comes into their
!
midst
and gives them the gift He has been promising, the
gift! of The Holy Spirit. This is a powerful scene where the
apostles are transformed from a frightened group of crestfallen followers into enlivened pioneers, equipped to face
all the challenges of those early days of the formation of
the church.!
!
The descent of the Spirit upon them is so mysterious and
all consuming that several images are used to help us to
understand. The strong wind blows through them. Wind
cannot be seen but we certainly feel its effect upon whatever it touches. Trees swaying in the wind is a great example!!
!
Tongues as of fire conveys the burning enthusiasm
which entered their hearts and souls and propelled them
forth to preach the Word. Those tongues transformed their
words in such a way that all the foreigners in Jerusalem
were able to understand the message.!
!
Astounding and amazing are the two words used to describe the experience, and because of this thousands came
to follow Jesus and His message of salvation.!
!
Each year as we remember this event in the history of
our church it gives us pause to think about what may enliven us and fire us up in our faith life. God’s Spirit continues to move within and among us and transforms us each
day onto the people God has created and called to follow
Him. Let us go forth as Witnesses to that amazing and
astounding message of salvation!!!!
!
Este fim de semana ao estármos juntos para celebrármos a
maravilhosa festa do Pentecostes, tradicionalmente conhecida
pêlo aniversário da igreja. Assim como os apóstolos estavam
reunidos no quarto superior,esperando desejosos,Jesus veio no
meio d’eles e lhes dá o que Ele tinha prometido,o Dom do
Espirito Santo.Esta é uma ação muito ponderosa onde os
apóstolos são transformados de um grupo de medrosos e seguidores falhados a um grupo animado e inergético,preparado para
enfrentar todos os desafios daquele tempo no principio da
formação da igreja.!
!
A descida do Espirito Santo sobre eles é um grande mistério tão
ardente que diferentes imagens são usadas para nos fazer entender este mistério. O vento forte sópra sobre eles. O vento não
se vê mas certamente podemos sentir o seu efeito em tudo o
que toca. As árvores balançando no ar com o vento é um grande
exemplo!!
!
As linguas de fogo transportam o ardente entusiasmo que entra
nos seus corações e alma e lhes dá coragem para irem em frente
a pregar a Palavra. Aquelas linguas tranformam as suas palavras
de forma tão ponderosa que até os estrangeiros em Jerusalem
podiam entender a mensagem.!
!
Incrivil e maravilhoso são as duas palavras usadas para descrever a experiência. E por esta razão milhares de pessoas se tornaram seguidores de Jesus e da Sua mensagem da salvação.!
!
A cada ano ao relembrarmos este evento na história da nossa
igreja nos faz pausar para pensar o que nos eleva e nos faz sentir
o fogo ardente na nossa vida de fé. O Espirito de Deus continua
a moverse no nosso meio e nos tranforma a cada dia nas pessoas que Deus criou e chamou para Seus seguidores.!
!
Vamos seguir em frente e ser testemunhas desta incrivel e maravilhosa mensagem de salvação!!!!
!
Feliz Domingo de Pentecostes! !
Happy Pentecost Sunday!!

Easter Time ends with the celebration of Pentecost.
For fifty days the Church has been immersed in the
mystery of new life with the risen Lord, a mystery
that draws us into the relationship of Jesus and the
Father. In the Resurrection, Jesus breaks the bonds
of human limitations and promises that we too will
be raised. In the Ascension, the Father receives the
beloved Son into the divine realm, and with the sending of the Spirit, we become a dwelling place of the
Advocate, who reminds us all the Lord has told us.
The coming of the Spirit is the birthday of the
Church. !
!
Luke describes this divine intervention in human affairs with the sound of wind and tongues of fire
divine energy that consumes and amazes the gathered assembly. The impact of the Spirit is destined
to shape the Kingdom of God through the efforts of
all those renewed by the Spiritincluding us.!
!
The Spirit of Pentecost is not confined by language,
place of origin, gender, or social status; it is a universal gift that reminds us to put flesh, bones, hands,
and feet on the teachings of Christ. It calls us to the
mighty works of God, speaking them ourselves and
seeing them in others. The gift of the Spirit is our
source of life, not only for fifty days, but every day.!

MASS OF HEALING!
On Saturday, May 21st at 11:00 am we will
be celebrating our semi!annual Mass of Healing
and the Sacrament of the Sick. All Parishioners are welcome and encouraged to attend, in
particular the sick and those who care for
them. This Healing Mass encompasses any
physical, mental or spiritual illness, exhaustion,
the elderly and the homebound. If you have a
family member in need of a ride or assistance to
come to this sacramental gathering, please call
or email Mary Ellen at the Parish Center or
mbartlett@stmikes.org. This is a wonderful
time for those parishioners who are ill and their
caretakers to be blessed and rejuvenated in their
faith life. If you cannot join us please keep all
of them in your prayers. Celebrating Hudson’s 150th Anniversary!
One of the ministries I chair as your Parish Nurse is the
Prayer Shawl Ministry. I decided to take this opportunity
to let you know a little about Prayer Shawl. Did you
know there are a few devoted women in our parish who
have dedicated themselves to making not only shawls but
lap afghans (a shawl that covers one’s lap), skull caps for
children and adults who have lost their hair from
chemotherapy, or who just need a warm hat in the winter
months? They also make caps for soldiers in combat areas
to wear under their helmets. They have taken up making
Baptismal Robes for our youngest parish members too.
The men, women and children who are the recipients of
their dedicated work range in age from infants to people in
their 90’s. The reasons all vary for the items they make
chronic illness, sickness or loss of a family member,
hospitalizations, cancer, entering a nursing home or just a
simple thing as much needed comfort. We call these
articles HUGS FROM GOD. !
!
The making of a Prayer Shawl item is a spiritual
experience for the “shawl” maker and many blessings are
prayed into each and every article while it is being made.
In addition to these prayers periodically I bring the items to
the church where Fr. Ron blesses them during Mass on the
weekend. “….May the one who receives this item, be
cradled in hope, kept in joy, graced with peace and
wrapped in love.” !
!
This is an ongoing ministry that meets on the second
Wednesday of each month in the lower church at 1:30.
Please come and join us if you wish to participate. If you
used to knit or crochet but haven’t in a while and need a
refresher, there will be someone there to help you get
started again. New participants are always welcome.
Requests for a shawl or other item can be made at any time
by calling the Parish Center and leaving me a message.
Each item is a tangible sign of God’s love and comfort for
the recipient. The members of this ministry feel blessed to
be able to offer their prayers while their hands are busy
working in order to provide comfort and peace to others.
Please keep our ministry and shawl makers in your
On Tuesday May 17, 2016@7:00pm at the prayers. Thanks and God Bless, Mary Ellen, Parish

Sharing the Gospel!
The disciples must have missed spending time with
Jesus after he went back to heaven. But they knew
that the Holy Spirit would always be with them, helping them remember what Jesus taught them. The disciples kept learning about God and kept growing closer to him. The Holy Spirit will help you remember
Jesus, too. !
