Word for the Weekend: May 26 A CONCORD PASTOR COMMENTS - May 21, 2013 This Sunday we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity . The Trinity may seem remote and abstract but each Christian baptized "in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" is claimed for Christ by the Church: our souls branded , indelibly tattooed with the triune life of God. Baptism marks us as daughters and sons of God, sisters and brothers of Christ, drawn by the Spirit to worship the Father of us all. The Scriptures for ...http://concordpastor.blogspot.com/2013/05/word-for-weekend-may-26.html
My Homily for Pentecost Sunday 2013 FROM ST. ANTHONY'S WALNUT TREE - May 21, 2013 Birthday! So right now some of you are asking: "Whose birthday?" Some of you are thinking: "The deacon has lost it sooner than we expected!" Actually what I am talking about is the Church's birthday! Many Christians believe that on the day of Pentecost, the Church was born. Now I am going to submit the proposition that there was a chance the Church may not have come into being. Think about it. There are Apostles, and other disciples. Yes, they have witnessed the ...http://stanthonyswalnuttree.blogspot.com/2013/05/my-homily-for-pentecost-sunday-2013.html

Pope Francis on Pentecost FAITHBOOK NZ - May 20, 2013 Pentecost is awesome, it is the feast day of the Holy Spirit joining us on earth.

Ordinary Time Resumes Καθολικός διάκονος - May 20, 2013 Picking up where we left off before Lent began, today is the Seventh Monday in Ordinary Time. It seems weird that with Vespers yesterday evening Easter is now over this year. I was planning to continue my leisurely pace of posting, but I felt I needed to mark this important transition. In Latin this period is called tempus per annum - "time through the year." Nonetheless, there are mile markers along the way. Understandably we have a hard ...http://scottdodge.blogspot.com/2013/05/ordinary-time-resumes.html

Homily - "The Spirit Has Been Leading Us" GW CATHOLIC Q & A - May 20, 2013 ... So many of you said, "I want to be president". I replied, "That's cool. President of what?" "Of the United States". I laughed it off with the first few of you, but then after the first dozen or so (!), I took it more seriously. That summer was when I arrived as chaplain of the Newman Center (we are seniors together!) and the campus minister was two campus ministers ago. So, a lot has happened since you began GW…even the outside of the Newman Center has changed ...http://gwcatholicforum.blogspot.com/2013/05/homily-spirit-has-been-leading-us.html
How to Get More Out of Mass? AGGIE CATHOLICS - May 20, 2013 Q - Mass can be boring. How can I go to Mass and get more out of it? A - Thanks for your question. First off, I will tell you that your question is all too common. Many people go to Mass with the expectation that they are supposed to "get" a lot out of it.

Pope Francis and the "Sad Life of Slumbering Christians" (Opinion) CLERICAL WHISPERS - May 19, 2013 "The life of slumbering Christians is a sad life; it is not a happy life. Christians must be happy with the joy of Jesus. Let us not fall asleep!" — Pope Francis, General Audience, April 24, 2013. I. To read Pope Francis, we must not be too literal. When he talked, in a recent General Audience, of "slumbering Christians," he was not waging a war against "slumber parties." When he told us "not to fall asleep," he was not saying that we should never have ...http://clericalwhispers.blogspot.com/2013/05/pope-francis-and-sad-life-of-slumbering.html

Pentecost Gospel COUNTERCULTURAL FATHER - May 19, 2013 Today is an interesting day, for those who have been following my analysis of the treatment of the Gospels in the New Lectioanry. On the one hand, the Gospel for the Extraordinary Form of the Mass, which would have been read on this day at every Sunday Mass, every year, closes with a pair of verses which is not read on any Sunday under the new arrangements. It is St John, 14: 30 - 31: " I ...http://ccfather.blogspot.com/2013/05/pentecost-gospel.html
