ReadingI-Acts2:1-11

The disciples were afraid to show their faces inpublic after Jesus’ crucifixion. They huddled inupperroomswithgreatuncertaintyaboutwhattodo. But the Spirit of God helped them overcometheir confusions and fears by opening up a newchapter in their lives. They were given a newmessage,anewcalling,andanewleaseonlife.

NEXT WEEK’S READINGS

The Most Holy Trinity

1st

Reading: Deuteronomy 4:32-34, 39-40

2nd

Reading: Romans 8:14-17

Gospel: Matthew 28:16-20

Acts 2:1–11,! Cor 12:3b–7, 12–13 or Gal 5:16–25

John 20:19–23 or John 15:26–27; 16:12–15 The image of Mary—surrounded by the apostles in the upper room, awaiting the Holy Spirit—has a name: Regina Apostolorum, Queen of the Apostles. She is enthroned as Queen Mother because, when her Son the King was enthroned and lifted up, he told her, “Behold your son.” With those words he entrusted Mary to the care of John, the apostles, and the whole Church. As any good queen and mother, she defends her own.

She is also called the Spouse of the Spirit, because it was in union with the Spirit that she engendered the Son. She also engenders him in the apostles and in our souls through her powerful intercession and waiting on the Spirit.

One of Mary’s best qualities is waiting patiently until God’s power arrives. After the annunciation she waited nine months with Jesus in her womb. Then she waited some thirty years while Jesus grew and prepared for his mission. She waited during his public life and watched as his fame spread, but also as his enemies plotted. She waited at the foot of the cross and endured that unending Holy Saturday until the resurrection. And she waited patiently on the first Pentecost Sunday for the coming of the gift of the Holy Spirit promised by her Son. She knew he would come through, as he always did.

We get impatient with God and want him to respond on our timetables according to our expectations. He waits to give us a chance to adapt our hearts to his plan and timing. He waits until the time is just right.

PILGRAMAGE TO LOURDES TERESA DILLION

After an 11.5 hour flight from Los Angeles, we arrived in Lourdes on 5/2 at around 1130 AM. The first day was settling in with team meetings following dinner. The spiritual journey started the following morning. The teams of amazing leaders, Knights, Dames, and volunteers helped all the malades seated in their assigned voitures/carts. Prior to the departure to the Immaculate Conception Basilica, one of the chaplains blessed the pilgrims with a prayer. Then, grace began to unfold with the blessing and presentation of rosaries to the malades and caregivers, followed by washing of the feet of the malades, and ended with reconciliation. Following lunch and a brief break, what was planned would be the highlight of this journey - the Baths. The group arrived at the Domaine, crossed the first bridge and followed the trail along the a River Gave. Before entering the line awaiting for the Baths, each malade received an individual blessing. Though it was rainy and windy, I felt warmth radiate from within. The initial freezing sensation as we took a deep dip in the water quickly dissipated with the tender love of our blessed mother as we prayed to her. Teresa did very well. I asked how she felt, she said she loved it and that she was thinking of Mary during the Baths. Following the Baths, we headed to the Rosary Basilica for the Tri-Association Mass. Teresa was super excited in anticipation of receiving a Holy Communion. Thank you for all your prayers at home. We can’t wait to soak in more graces and blessings as the days go by... God’ blessing on all of you, Shaujwo and Teresa

Mahalo, forentrustingyourchildrentousto learn

and be nurtured spiritually in our faith formation
