GOSPEL READING - Saint John 14,15-20.

Acts of the Apostles 2,1-21

When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly from heaven

there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were

sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of

them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them

ability. Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem. And at this

sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in the native

language of each. Amazed and astonished, they asked, ‘Are not all these who are speaking Galileans?

And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language? Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and

residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and

the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and

Arabs in our own languages we hear them speaking about God’s deeds of power.’ All were amazed

and perplexed, saying to one another, ‘What does this mean?’ But others sneered and said, ‘They are

filled with new wine.’ But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them: ‘Men

of Judea and all who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to what I say. Indeed, these

are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine o’clock in the morning. No, this is what was spoken

through the prophet Joel: "In the last days it will be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon

all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and

your old men shall dream dreams. Even upon my slaves, both men and women, in those days I will

pour out my Spirit; and they shall prophesy. And I will show portents in the heaven above and signs on

the earth below, blood, and fire, and smoky mist. The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon

to blood, before the coming of the Lord’s great and glorious day. Then everyone who calls on the

name of the Lord shall be saved."

‘If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you an-

other Advocate, to be with you for ever. This is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive,

because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, because he abides with you, and he will be

in you. ‘I will not leave you orphaned; I am coming to you. In a little while the world will no longer see

me, but you will see me; because I live, you also will live. On that day you will know that I am in my

Father, and you in me, and I in you.

Word and the poor, may be an invigorating symbol

Saint Anthony’s Church is excited to announce a significant upgrade to our cemetery software. It is unique and considerably superior with features such as digital record keeping and GPS mapping. It is so innovative it can be accessed easily from any device and provide walking or driving directions directly to your grave site. The software is completely secure with records backed-up numerous times throughout the day. No more pulling the paper file from the file cabinet anymore. Our deceased loved ones will be forever in our Parish records. Each family will be able to accurately maintain, update, and submit records and information of their loved ones. You can send the obituary notice, special documents, letters, receipts etc. to [email protected] in a pdf or jpg format and we will attach that to your loved ones record. Please make sure all emails are accurately and clearly labeled so we attach them to the correct parishioner. Attaching documents is entirely at your discretion.

In order to make this successful and achieve its full benefit we have to rely on each parishioner to update their loved ones records as best as they can.

The following steps will help you access the tool:

https://www.stanthonylawrence.org 1.Scroll to the bottom and click on BURIAL ONLINE SEARCH 2.Type in the last name and first name or in some cases just last name and click search 3.Click on the name 4.In the middle of the page, look for “Do you know more about this person or their ancestors”? Click here. 5.You can then complete any or all the fields and click submit. Once you complete the above, all data will be sent back to Saint Anthony’s Rectory and will be uploaded and saved.

Another incredible feature is click on view Saint Anthony’s Maronite Map or locate on map. It will take you to a Google Earth view of the cemetery with your grave site showing. Move your wheel on the mouse or zoom in and you will see the individual burial plots. You can click on drive or walk and it defaults to Google Maps and provides directions right to your grave site from wherever you are.

We highly encourage everyone to take advantage of this software. We can make this successful and achieve our goal of remembering every loved one in our Saint Anthony’s Parish family for generations to come.

May God Bless you and keep you in his prayers.
