PENTECOST SUNDAY
This Sunday, 28th May we celebrate Pentecost Sunday also known as Whitsunday. The word has it’s roots in the Greek word “pentecoste”, which means 50th day. It commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles & other followers of Jesus Christ, while they were in Jerusalem celebrating the Feast of Weeks, as described in the Acts of the Apostles.
On this Tuesday, 30th May following Pentecost Sunday the Family of Parishes Third Prayer Service will take place in St. James’ Church, Ballinora at 7.30pm.
It will be a Reflection on the Fruits of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
No Holy Hour in Ovens Church on Tuesday night.
Scripture Reflection for the Week
You are What you Think
The words you use, like your thoughts, have a powerful influence on how you behave. Reinforce your positive behaviour by telling yourself “there is much to live for”, “life does get better” “there is hope”.
For further Reflection:
Proverbs 23:78
CHILDREN’S PRAYER BEFORE HOLY COMMUNION
Lord Jesus, come to me.
Lord Jesus, give me your love.
Lord Jesus, come to me and give me yourself.
Lord Jesus, friend of children, come to me.
Lord Jesus, you are my Lord and my God.
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen.
