Prayer for Hurricane Safety

O God, Master of this passing world, hear the humble voices of your children. The Sea of Galilee obeyed your order and returned to its former quietude. You are still the Master of the land and sea. We live in the shadow of a dan-ger over which we have no control: the Gulf, like a provoked and angry giant, can awake from its seeming lethargy and overstep its conventional boundaries, invade our land and spread chaos and disaster. During this hurricane season, we turn to You, O loving Father. Spare us from past trag-edies whose memories are still so vivid and whose wounds seem to refuse to heal with the passing of time. O Virgin, Star of the Sea, Our Beloved Mother, we ask you to plead with your son in our behalf, so that spared from the ca-lamities common to this area and animated with a true spirit of gratitude, we walk in the footsteps of your Divine Son to reach the heavenly Jerusalem where stormless eternity awaits us. Amen.

Our parish would like to offer you the opportuni-ty to participate in the Catholic tradition of light-ing a sanctuary candle for your loved ones. The candle will burn for 2 weeks for a donation of $20.00. For more information you can contact the church office.

The candle burning from May 31st until June 13th

The Committee for the 2020 Fundraiser in sup-port of the Missionaries of La Salette would like to congratulate our winners in the Raffle Ticket Drawing. Henrietta Akers took top prize and received the 12 Gauge ShotGun. Deidra Doucet won the $200 cash prize, and graciously donated it back to the fundraiser. The drawing was held on Saturday, May 9th at St Theresa's Catholic Church with the assis-tance of Father Luke Krzanowski. All proceeds raised will help provide financial support and assistance to Seminarians as they enter the ministry to become our church lead-ers. Our friend and former Pastor, Father John Welch is the Director of Vocations and relies on our success to help continue this rewarding and challenging ministry. We would like to thank each and everyone who helped with the Raffle by selling or purchasing tickets. We appreciate your support in making this small part of the annual event a success. With God's grace we will continue to support the Missionaries of La Salette in 2021.

THE RICHNESS OF THE SPIRIT

Students, and most adults recalling their school days, are familiar with the phrase “compare and contrast” that shows up from time to time on tests. Today we hear two different accounts of the giving of the Holy Spirit to the church. Let’s

contrast, then compare. Luke’s account from Acts is filled with arresting details: the mighty wind from heaven, the tongues of flame, the

miracle of different languages. John’s account seems timid: fearful disciples, the wounded Christ, the expelling of breath from his risen body, not from the sky. Our literal, modern minds wonder which way it happened; our

noisy culture probably makes us prefer the for-mer. But if we compare the two, we find that

the dazzling richness of the Spirit fills both ac-counts, for it is the very breath of the risen

Christ, ascended to the sky in Luke, that appears to his disciples in John and sends his followers

forth to carry on his mission of forgiving sin and proclaiming the mighty acts of God.

SAINT CHARLES LWANGA AND HIS COMPANIONS

(martyred 1886-87) June 3

“Master of Pages,” reputedly the handsomest man in all

Uganda, Charles Lwanga, lay catechist, courageously led about forty teenaged boys, Catholics and Anglicans, on a forty-mile forced march to martyrdom for their common Christian faith. Teaching each other the hymns of their

different churches, they strengthened one another for the ordeal ahead. King Mwanga, himself barely twenty, had ordered them executed for being “those who pray.” But

these royal pages were the king’s male harem, who, now Christians, refused what pious accounts demurely de-

scribe as his “unreasonable demands.” Some were clubbed to death, most burned alive; the youngest, thir-

teen-year old Saint Kizito, whom Charles had often shielded from the King’s lust; the most tragic, Saint Mba-

ga, whose father was his executioner! In 1964, Paul VI canonized the young Catholics and praised their Anglican companions, recalling the heroism of early Christianity’s African martyrs, which we modern Christians of far less faith never expected to see repeated. Forty years after the

pope’s words, what does our faith cost us? Heroism aside, how generous is our response?
