A message from Fr. Mike
Great job Father Mike. Very clear. Can't wait to be back.
Very well thought out plan. Thank you!
Simply stop by the Church to pick up your bag. Then, bake or buy a birthday cake or your favorite muffin and plan your party.
On Pentecost Sunday, it’s time to celebrate! Start the day with online Mass. Then, put on something red for the Spirit, (yes, we know many of us are enjoying pajama masses) decorate with the balloons and the coloring page or anything else you like, light the candle, read the prayer card together and make a birthday wish for the church (a wish is like a prayer) before you blow it out! Have some cake and let the Joy of the Spirit rule the day!
Let the Church (that’s you!) celebrate Pentecost knowing that God’s Spirit has been given to us, just as it was for those first followers of Jesus. Be sure to take a party photo and tag or send it to us so we can share the joy. Email dcm@sacredheartcor.org or text 619-977-1692

EASTER WEEKDAY
Some argue that “believing the right things” is enough of a response to the call to discipleship. But Jesus emphasized doing. Orthopraxy (right practice) goes hand in hand with orthodoxy (right belief). In this time of global suffering, our faith response is required. It flows out of our faith assent, but we can’t stop with professions of faith. Take your faith out to meet the great need you find around you today.
Today's readings: Acts 28:16-20, 30-31; John 21: 20-25 “There are also many other things that Jesus did, but if these were to be described individually, I do not think the whole world would contain the books that would be written.”

How can we pray, in the face of a major pandemic, the scope of lives lost and families grieving alone, the deep-seated sin of racism, and loss of livelihood for so many people...
"Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words." Romans 8:26
Holy Spirit, please intercede for us with groans and sighs too deep for words. Carry our deepest groans to the throne of grace, and enflame our hearts with your love. Help us to receive your gifts and bring them to fruition in our lives and in our world. Come Holy Spirit, renew the face of the earth. Amen
Amen🙏
NOVENA FOR PENTECOST DAY 9
All for your glory
The discipline that we pray for today is one which understands that all goodness comes from God. Any holiness that we might achieve is the result of God's work in us. Without God we are powerless. But with God there is the plentiful grace that will allow us to become the best of who we were created to be.
We pray for self-control
Four suggested steps:
Place yourself in the presence of God.
Close your eyes. Take some slow, deep breaths. Imagine that you are enveloped by the unconditional love of God.
Ask for the grace you desire today.
Pray that the Holy Spirit teach you that kind of sober self-control that will allow you to understand that true holiness is a gift from God, that true temperance is a quality growing in us over time.
Spend time in prayer and with the song.
Pray as you feel drawn, either sitting in silence or listening to the song. There is no right or wrong way to do it. Distractions are normal for all of us. God smiles on our small efforts without judgement or shame.
Pray in gratitude.
In your own words, express a simple prayer of thanks to God.

THE FEAST OF PENTECOST
A PRAYER FOR SPIRITUAL COMMUNION
Come, Holy Spirit
Fill the hearts of your faithful
And kindle in us
The fire of your love.
My Jesus
Breathe on me as you once breathed on your disciples
Open everything blocked in me to receive your holy spirit,
More fully, more deeply,
Come, Holy Spirit, Come.
I want to receive You into my soul.
I long to come to you at the table of the Eucharist.
where I believe you are truly present
by the power of the Holy Spirit
in the most holy sacrament.
But since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,
come spiritually into my heart, where
I embrace You and I unite myself wholly to You.
Veni, Sancte Spiritus
Never let me to be separated from You.
Keep me close in your Sacred Heart.
Amen
🙏
