FEAST OF THE
MOST HOLY TRINITY
“Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.” - Mt 28:19-20
St. Michael of the Saints—Cancer Patron
On May 31st we began a Novena to St. Michael of the Saints, a Trinitarian friar who is credited with cancer cures. If you have a special intention for someone who is suffering from this horrible disease, please write it on a slip of paper and place it in the basket. These intentions will be remembered during the Novena and by our prayer chain.
We praise You, Most Holy Trinity, for having sent us St. Michael of the Saints to be our friend and intercessor in the fight against cancer. Grant us, we pray, a humble faith that we may follow in his holy footsteps and believe without a doubt in your generous gift of healing. With humble and childlike trust, we ask your divine help through St. Michael of the Saints in this urgent necessity. May this gift of bodily health bring us peace and joy, which are but a foretaste of Heaven, and may we be counted one day among your saints in glory. Father, your world is ill with cancer and frightened. We pray you ease the suffering of those afflicted, give loving hands to those who care for them and light the way for those who seek its cure. Merciful Father, extend your healing hand so that we may soon cry out: A cure at last! In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
Your prayers are requested for the peaceful repose of the souls of
Rosemary Geschke, Gregg Ulias, Elizabeth Caliendo and William Iannuzzi.

PENTECOST SUNDAY
"The Spirit of the Lord fills the whole world."-Wisdom 1:7
Today we celebrate Pentecost--the birthday of the Church of Jesus Christ as the Holy Spirit descended upon Mary and the twelve apostles in tongues of fire to be the guiding, consoling, reconciling and life spirit of the Church for all times and, in fact, the life principle of all creation and of all people who sincerely search for God.
The Holy Spirit got bad press when he was called the Holy Ghost for we think of a ghost as someone dead and nothing could be more wrong. The Holy Spirit (the living Spirit of the Risen Jesus, alive in each of our hearts and in the heart of all the Church) is a dynamic spirit of guidance, consolation, hope, reconciliation, peace and all that we need to live our human lives with all they include. The Holy Spirit wants to live in our hearts--and does. All we need to do is invite more of the Spirit's presence by a simple "Come, Holy Spirit." You'll be surprised at the increased power of God in your life if you say earnestly and often this simple prayer. Happy Pentecost, everyone!
--Sr. Cathy Crowley, C.N.D., Director of Pastoral Care of the Sick and Homebound
