PENTECOST SUNDAY | JUNE 08, 2025
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC, AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH

We're all familiar with our own birthdays, and we celebrate them because they mark the day of the year in which we entered into this life. But did you know you have a second birthday?

Because you are part of the body of the Church, Pentecost is the Church's birthday, and yours as well. And like any birthday, it's a cause for celebration.

The word Pentecost is Greek and it means "50th day." Fifty days after Easter Sunday, we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and their followers, and the beginning of their Earthly ministry to make disciples of all nations.

Pentecost is also a Jewish holiday, which the Jews use to celebrate the end of Passover. Jews celebrate the gift of the law to Moses at Mt. Sinai on this day. But we, as Catholics celebrate the birth of our Church.

At Pentecost, the Apostles and their followers were gathered in a room. Jews from all over the world were gathered with Peter, the leader of the Apostles and the Eleven. At this time, a great wind blew and a flame appeared as a tongue of fire, which split itself into many individual flames above the heads of all those present. The Holy Spirit came upon these people and each began to speak in tongues. Despite the fact many had no common language, they were perfectly able to understand one another.

Others who were no so blessed, accused those speaking in tongues of being drunk, but Peter arose and addressed the crowd, explaining that it was only 9 o'clock, and that this phenomenon was not intoxication, but rather this was the work of the Holy Spirit, prophesied in the scripture.

Peter then called all those present to be baptized and about three thousand people were baptized that day.

These people were among the first Catholics, and Peter is the first pope of the Catholic Church.

The symbols of Pentecost are the flame, wind, and the dove, which represents the Holy Spirit. The color of Pentecost is red and the priest wears red vestments on this day. Parishioners are also invited to wear red on this day. Red decorations as well as celebrations are appropriate, similar to any other birthday. Special prayers are often said just for Pentecost.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

"The loveliest masterpiece of the heart of God is the heart of a Mother." -Saint Therese of Lisieux

Have a Blessed Mother's Day sa lahat ng mga nanay, nagpapaka-nanay sa pamilya, at sa Simbahan, lalo na sa Ina ng Diyos, si Maria. Hindi sapat ang isang araw upang pasalamatan kayo sa inyong pasasakripisyo. Dasal namin na manatili kayong matatag sa hamon ng buhay. Hangad namin ang inyong kaligtasan sa lahat ng oras.

LET'S PRAY FOR VOCATIONS!

The purpose of World Day of Prayer for Vocations is to publicly fulfill the Lord's instruction to, "Pray the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into his harvest" (Mt 9:38; Lk 10:2). As a climax to a prayer that is continually offered throughout the Church, it affirms the primacy of faith and grace in all that concerns vocations to the priesthood and to the consecrated life. While appreciating all vocations, the Church concentrates its attention this day on vocations to the ordained ministries (priesthood and diaconate), consecrated life in all its forms (male and female religious life, societies of apostolic life, consecrated virginity), secular institutes in their diversity of services and membership, and to the missionary life.

March: The Month of St. Joseph

As we enter the month of March, we turn our hearts to St. Joseph, the humble and faithful guardian of the Holy Family. A model of obedience, hard work, and silent strength, St. Joseph teaches us how to trust in God's plan, even when the path is unclear.

Let’s honor him this month by praying for fathers, workers, and the Church, which he lovingly protects. St. Joseph, Terror of Demons, pray for us!

Today is the Third Sunday of Advent, Gaudete Sunday. At this halfway point in the season of Advent, light two violet and the rose candles on your Advent wreath and Rejoice! For the Lord is near!

Gaudette Sunday

Rejoice in the Lord 😇

𝙏𝙃𝙄𝙍𝘿 𝙎𝙐𝙉𝘿𝘼𝙔 𝙊𝙁 𝘼𝘿𝙑𝙀𝙉𝙏—𝙅𝙊𝙔

By the third Sunday of Advent we are most of the way through this season of preparation. Right away we notice a distinct difference in our external celebrations: the colors have changed from purple to pink. The priests’ vestments and the third candle on every Advent wreath are now pink.

The color pink has long been associated with joy and festivity. Joy is symbolized with the lighting of the pink candle, reminding us of the joy the world experienced at the coming birth of the Savior of the World.

This candle has also been referred to as the “Shepherds’ Candle” as we collectively imagine what incredible joy these humble peasants must have felt when they were heralded by the angels with “Gloria in Excelsius Deo!”
