V atican City, May 7, 2014 / 06:53 am (CNA/EWTN

News).- During his General Audience on Wednesday,

Pope Francis reflected on the Holy Spirit’s gift of counsel,

explaining that through it we learn to be docile to the Lord

rather than attached to our own ideas.

“It illuminates our heart and makes us more sensitive to the

voice of the Spirit, so that we do not get carried away in our

thoughts, feelings and intentions by selfishness or our own

way of looking at things, but by the will of God,” the Pope

observed May 7.

Addressing the thousands of pilgrims gathered in St. Peter’s

Square to hear his discourse, the Roman Pontiff continued

his catechesis on the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Counsel "is the gift with which the Holy Spirit helps us to

make decisions in our concrete lives, following the logic of

Jesus and his Gospel” he noted, adding that through it “God

enlightens our hearts and directs our thoughts, words and

actions in accordance with his saving will.”

In leading us toward Jesus, and through him to God the

Father, “the Holy Spirit guides us in our daily interaction

with others and enables us to make right decisions in the

light of faith” the Pope continued.

By the gift of counsel we “grow in the virtue of prudence,

learning to overcome our self-centeredness and to see all

things with the eyes of Christ,” the Bishop of Rome stated,

and at the same time it “leads us to conform more and more

to Jesus, as a model of our actions and our relation with God,

and with our brothers.”

“What can we do to be more docile to this gift of Counsel?”

he asked, observing that “the essential condition is prayer.”

“Thanks to the intimacy with God and to the hearing of his

Word, a profound harmony with God matures in us and

leads us to ask ourselves constantly: What is it that the Lord

desires? What is His will? What is it that pleases Him?”

Like the other spiritual gifts, counsel also “constitutes a

treasure for the whole Christian community,” the Pope went

on to say, adding that not only does God speak to us “in the

intimacy of the heart,” but also by “the voice and testimony

of the faith of our brothers, who help us to see more clearly

and to recognize the will of God.”

Offering thanks for the gift of counsel, Pope Francis prayed

that all might “seek to support one another along the path of

faith, as we seek to be ever more docile to the working of the

Holy Spirit in our hearts.”

“May the intercession of the Virgin Mary, in this month of

May, help us to live out Christian lives with more docility to

the voice and love of the Holy Spirit.”

Concluding his address, the Roman Pontiff extended

personal greetings to pilgrims present from various

countries around the world, including England and Wales,

Scotland, Ireland, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Slovakia,

Korea, the Philippines, China, India, Canada, the United

States, Spain, México, Guatemala, Colombia, Perú, Uruguay,

Venezuela and Argentina.

He also gave special welcome to the family and friends of the

30 young men who made an oath and became Swiss Guards

during yesterday’s swearing-in ceremony.

In the Spirit of St. Francis ...THANK YOU!

To the Knights of Columbus and all who helped to build and take down the Right to Life Field of Crosses.

To Paul Mayer, Dick Haltiner, Steve Holthouse, and John Eagan who got out of bed early on a weekend morning to repair and reassemble the signs and the crosses that were damaged due to wind and vandals.

To the Pastoral Council and to all the volunteers who helped to make the Crab Feed a success!

To everyone who helped with set-up, serving and clean-up; and those who shared their delicious salads and desserts for the Bud Weisner funeral luncheon.

Hope Diner Host: St Paul Lutheran Team

Thank you for everyone who donated blood at our blood drive. We had 30 donors and collected 31 units of blood. There were also 2 first time donors, and a potential of 93 lives were saved by the donations! Hope Shelter had 13 over night guests. Respect Life served chili and had lots of Super Bowl goodies for the guests. The guests are in need of warm gloves. Gloves can be placed in the food donation bin or dropped off during pantry hours. We are in need to volunteers for the shelter. Please see our Facebook Page to sign up or email bobbi@stfrancissherwood.org for the link to help out. Food Pantry Needs: Full sized Shampoo and Conditioner, Tuna, Soup and Jelly Did you know that at this time we are only able to give our pantry shoppers 1 roll of toilet paper a month? We would love to be able to give more and there is always a need for toilet paper at the pantry.

BOOK-OF-THE-MONTH February’s Book-of-the-Month is

Eucharistic Miracles

Joan Carroll Cruz

ISBN# 9780895553034

On many occasions throughout the history of the

Catholic Church, God has provided visible proof of

the invisible reality of the Real Presence of Jesus

Christ in the Holy Eucharist. In her book, Eucharistic

Miracles, Joan Carroll Cruz documents 36 such

miracles which occurred from 800 AD to the present

day. This book tells of consecrated Hosts which have

visibly turned to human flesh, have bled, levitated, and

which have become hard as flint when received by a

person in mortal sin. It details the official investigations

that have been made into these miracles by scientists

throughout the world, and where some can still be

venerated today. Eucharistic Miracles also recounts

miraculous Eucharistic phenomena in the lives of

saints: saints who lived with only the Eucharist for

sustenance, received Communication miraculously, or

experienced raptures, ecstasies, levitations, visions,

locutions, and more. Pictures and photographs of the

miracles, the churches they took place in, and the

people involved are also included, adding the final

touch to a comprehensive, detailed, and extraordinary

overview of these miraculous happenings. Eucharistic

Miracles is a superb compilation of God's visible

testimony of the truth of the Catholic Faith, proving

the reality of one of its loftiest mysteries -- the Real

Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist.

Sacramental News

May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen Parishioner, Bud Weisner died on January 11. His funeral was on February 5.

Catholic Corner

How do we live by charity? We live by charity

by living the two great commandments: that is,

loving God with all our hearts, soul, mind and

strength, because He is worthy of all our love, and

by loving our neighbor as ourself for the love of

God. In practice this involves obeying the

commandments of God and of the Church and

performing the works of mercy. St. Paul Family

Catechism.

Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things (1 Cor. 13:4-7).

Next week: How can we sin against charity?

Church Ladies with typewriters ~ this sentence actually appeared in a church bulletin: Ladies, don’t forget the rummage sale. It’s a chance to get rid of those things not worth keeping around the house. Bring your husbands.

“Life will triumph: this is a

sure hope for us. Yes, life will triumph because

truth, goodness, joy and true progress are on the

side of life. God, who loves life and gives it

generously, is on the side of life.”

-St John Paul II

Respect Life

We thank you, O God, for the Love You have

implanted in our hearts. May it always inspire us to

be kind in our words, considerate of feeling, and

concerned for each other's needs and wishes.

Help us to be understanding and forgiving of human

weaknesses and failings. Increase our faith and trust

in You and may Your prudence guide our life and

love. Bless our Marriage O God, with peace and

happiness, and make our love fruitful for

Your glory and our joy both here and in eternity.

A Marriage Blessing in honor of World Marriage Day, February 10

The St. Francis Quilters achieved their 2018 goal of providing many quilts to those in need. Many, many quilts were donated to members in our church who were in need of keeping warm. As always, when someone came to our Food Pantry and needed to keep warm they were given a quilt. Quilts were also given to the American Legend, Catholic Charity, Good Neighbor, Rose Heaven and Henderson House. Quilts were donated to those who suffered in the California fires. We also made a $500 donation to the Red Cross. We are able to do these good deeds because of your support at our annual Christmas Boutique. In June we will be hosting another boutique and we will have items that will help you decorate for the other annual holidays. Thank you for helping us help others.
