Fr. Jim's Jots - Pentecost Sunday, 6.9.19 ~ The Birthday of the Church

Fr. Jim's Jots

Greetings!

Today, June 9th, we celebrate the Feast Day of Pentecost, the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles and Mary.  How wonderful it is for us to pause and think about the gifts of the Holy Spirit.  They are wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety and fear of the Lord.

Throughout the summer we are called to think about how each of us is challenged and invited to think about and pray for one gift, so that we may grow in a deeper understanding and appreciation of this gift of the Holy Spirit.  Which gift are you in most need of?

Mark your calendar, St. Elizabeth is participating with Holy Rosary and St. Paul parishes, in the Vacation Bible School; the dates are June 24-June 27.  We are in need of volunteers to help with the program and certainly, need all the children of the parish to participate in this special Vacation Bible School summer event.

Blessings and safe travels during this summer.  May the Lord be with you wherever you go and whatever you do.

Thought of the day:  "get rid of your pride before you have to swallow it."

Blessings,

Fr. Jim Arsenault
