PASTOR POINTS
Dear Friends,
Last Sunday we celebrated the Solemnity of Pente-cost, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the world. The origin of the word for spirit, is the Hebrew word, ruah – which can also be translated as the breath of God. We read in the book of Genesis of how God’s breath hovered over the waters of creation and breathed life into the world and man. The Third Person of the Trinity is the Holy Spirit, the Breath of God. Jesus promised to send that Holy Spirit to breathe on us.
Over this past week I have watched with a sad heart the television coverage or read the internet posts concern-ing the recent social unrest in our cities and towns because of the most recent police brutality of a black man, Mr. George Floyd, in Minneapolis. Watching that horrifying video was sickening. Mr. Floyd was heard saying he could not breathe while the policeman was kneeling on him. It strikes me how important breathing is. It is something that we don’t think about, it just happens. When we are pre-vented from breathing, we die.
The outpouring of the Holy Spirit is God’s breath-ing Himself into us each day. Had Jesus not promised to send the Holy Spirit we would have no breath of God in us. Without the Holy Spirit we die spiritually.
I’ve seen the peaceful protests turned into looting and destruction by those who have no respect for people or property. Everyone has the right to speak their minds and bring awareness to issues that need to be addressed, such as the underlying one of racism on display. However, the law-lessness that the anarchists promote obliterates the message and the possibility of sound dialogue. Their message is one of complete disregard for civility.
There has been much commentary by the media and the politicians accusing the various sides of who is to blame and who should be doing more, and so on. Ultimate-ly the biased media coverage turns this issue into a political one. No matter what side you find yourself on, the only answer to all of this chaos and conflict is prayer. And pray-ing to the Holy Spirit to breathe His peace and guidance on us is something that we need to be about.
Come, Holy Spirit, breathe on me your peace, breathe on our society your love, your gifts of understand-ing and wisdom. Guide us to true peace. Breathe on us!

A CHRISTIAN PRAYER FOR PEACE IN OUR TIME
O God, author and giver of peace, in whose image and likeness each of us has been created with a human dignity worthy of respect on earth and destined for eternal glory, Listen to the cry that rises from every corner of this fragile earth, from our human family torn by violent conflict: Give peace in our time, O good and gracious God, that peace which, as your son Jesus Christ told us and as we have experienced in these days, is a peace which the world cannot give. To world leaders grant the wisdom to see beyond the boundaries of race, religion, and nation to that common humanity that makes us all your children and brothers and sisters to one another. To those who have taken up arms in anger or revenge or even in the cause of justice grant the grace of conversion to the path of peaceful dialogue and constructive collaboration. To the innocent who live in the shadow of war and terror, especially the frightened children, be a shelter and strength, their haven and hope. And to those who have already lost their lives as victims of human cruelty and chemical warfare, open wide your arms and enfold them all in the embrace of your compassion, healing, and everlasting life. Grant this through Jesus Christ, your son, our Lord. Mary, Mother of all and Queen of peace, pray for us. - Peter J. Scagnelli

GOSPEL MEDITATION - ENCOURAGE DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE June 7th - The Most Holy Trinity
A well-choreographed dance can be truly inspirational. Each movement and step are intercon-nected, each contributing a piece of the unfolding artistic story. The beholder is caught up in the rhythms, music, and gestures, realizing that none are dispensable and all are necessary. The same is true of the Divine Dance of the Trinity. Each Person plays a part, using unique gestures and
movements that are connected to the other Divine Partners. They tell a story of love. Every movement and step is born of love and flows on into eternity. The Divine Dance never ends.
God the Creator powerfully, yet with gentle love, leads. Creating and recreating, birthing and sustaining, He dances with the compassionate incarnate Son, guided by the breath of the Holy Spirit. They are three distinct Persons but move as One. On one hand, the cascading flow of their Presence appears motionless, yet on the other, flows and moves with effortless attention. They share one heart, one goal, and one purpose and invite all of creation to join in their dance, their joy.
The energy of the Trinity flows through all created things. It is a dance of the heart, not of the mind. It has to be experienced, not dissected, and contemplated, not understood. We stand in awe of the Divine Dance and find ourselves watching in amaze-ment all that God creates and sustains. The dance continues in the majesty of a mountain, the power and wonder of an ocean, and the vastness of the universe. It moves in the cry of a newborn infant and in the soul of one who has been forgiven. It flows in the cry for justice and in the wounds of the oppressed. It circles through the changing of seasons, the cycles of birth and death, and the wisdom that one acquires when they love God.
The Dance never ends. Its movements and rhythms go on forever. The Trinitarian Dance sustains all things, endures all things, and brings hope. You are invited to dance. Don’t just watch as if you were simply a spectator. Join in the dance and move as they move.

EVERYDAY STEWARDSHIP - RECOGNIZE GOD IN YOUR ORDINARY MOMENTS - Ready for His Return
Where is that guy with the rainbow wig holding a “John 3:16” sign in the end zone at NFL football games? Younger readers may not have any idea what I am talking about! You used to see this guy on TV all the time wearing “Jesus Saves” shirts and holding his sign. Most thought he was a harmless guy, but now he is serving multiple life sentences for taking hostages at a hotel near LAX in 1992. His name is Rollen Stewart and he believed — and continues to believe while in prison — that Jesus’ second coming is imminent. His ex-treme actions were meant to make people take notice and listen to him. Now he sits behind bars, and most in the world see his name as nothing more than an answer to a trivia question.
It is a sad story when people hurt others or use extreme methods in the name of God. Mr. Stewart’s belief that simply getting people to listen to his message is the most important step in their salvation is misguided. His poor stewardship should stand in stark contrast to our good stewardship. Our actions, seasoned at times with our words, should be the evidence people need to see the transforma-tive power of Jesus Christ. We do believe that he is indeed coming again. But once you have committed yourself to him and live in his life on earth, when he returns is not our main concern. We are ready whenever that time comes, and hopefully, we can help others be ready as well by our example.
