JESUS has overcome the World.
IT is the WORLD that is OPPOSED to the KINGDOM that JESUS has come to ESTABLISH.

*To Be "Worldly Minded" means to be controlled by Passions and Desires of The Flesh.

*To be Godly minded like Jesus Jesus, means to CARRY the CROSS daily to SERVE OTHERS , to welcome strenger, to visit the sick, to be a good Samartian, to be last to be in order to be the first, to be like a little child, to be poor in Spirit, to enter through the NARROW DOOR.
THIS IS THE SIGN OF OVERCOMING THE WORLD.

*The Holy Spirit fills us with expectant faith, Persevering hope, and unfailing love.

*Nothing can separate us from the love of christ and victory he has won for us.

THERE WILL BE A BRIGHT LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL.
Trees shed old leaves only to produce new fresh ones.

Truth.

Today's Readings:
Acts 17:15,22-18:1
Responsorial Psalm( Psalm 148:1-2,11-12,13,14)
John 16:12-15

John 16:13
" When He comes, the Spirit of Truth, He will guide you to all truth."

JESUS tells his disciples that it is the role of the HOLY SPIRIT to REVEAL what is TRUE, RIGHT, and GOOD.

Jesus proclaimed that He is the truth, The way, and the Life.
( John 14:6)
Truth is not something we create nor is it our discovery.
IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD WHO IS THE POSSESSOR AND GIVER OF ALL TRUTH.

" How beautiful is the world of the Spirit! And so real that, by comparison, the exterior life is just a vain illusion and Powerless."
( Saint Faustina)

*It is in the Holy Spirit that we can worship God both in Spirit and truth.

The truth of Divine revelation means that worshipping is Spirit.
( John 4:24)has guardrails, that is safe boundaries of truth.
The Holy Spirit is truth.
( John 16:13)
Search for the truth and Search for the Holy Spirit.
Worship God in Spirit and Truth.
( John 4:24)

*LET US WELCOME THE SPIRIT OF GOD TODAY!

The Church honours the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Month of May.

*TODAY IS THE FEAST OF OUR LADY OF FATIMA.

This feast is significant because of the message of Fatima.

" MARY CAME TO REMIND US THAT GOD'S LIGHT WELLS WITHIN US AND PROTECTS US. "
( Pope Francis)

What does fatima mean to Christians and why does it matter?

Church approves the Appirations of the Blessed Mother in Fatima in 1917, and very importantly because the church gives it place in its Solemn Liturgy.

" The message of Fatima includes a call to CONVERSION of HEART, REPENTANCE from SIN and a DEDICATION to the BLESSED VIRGIN MARY, shown especially by PRAYING The ROSARY."
( Roman Missal, Feast of our lady of Fatima, May 13)

" THE HOPEFUL MESSAGE OF FATIMA IS THAT MEN AND WOMEN HAVE A MOTHER. "
( Pope Francis)

Prayer:
O Most, Holy Virgin Mary, Queen of The Rosary, you chose to appear to three young Shepherd children in Fatima to reveal the treasures of grace hidden in the recitation of the Rosary. We come before you today with hearts full of trust in your maternal love and Compassion.
Our Lady of Fatima pray for us!

Happy Feast!

*MAY THE POWERFUL INTERCESSION OF OUR BLESSED MOTHER BE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ALWAYS!

We are not left as orphans, but the Lord himself dwells within us through the Power of the Holy Spirit.

One Thing the Holy Spirit teaches us is the Power of PRAYER and PRAISE.

PRAYER AND PRAISE ARE POWERFUL TOOLS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT TO CAUSE MIRACULOUS INTERVENTIONS OF GOD.

First Reading:
Acts 16:26
while Paul and Silas were Praying and singing Hymns to God, and the prisoners were liste, suddenly, God intervened in a mighty unexpected way.

IN THE FACE OF TEMPTATION, DIFFICULTY OR CRISIS, PRAY... PRAISE GOD... SING TO THE LORD... HIS INTERVENTION WILL BE EXCEPTIONAL.

" BREATHE in ME, HOLY SPIRIT, that my THOUGHTS may be HOLY.
ACT in ME, O HOLY SPIRIT, that my WORK too, may be HOLY.
DRAW my HEART, O HOLY SPIRIT,that I LOVE but what is HOLY.
STRENGTHEN ME, O HOLY SPIRIT, to DEFEND all that is HOLY .
GUARD ME, then, O HOLY SPIRIT, that I ALWAYS MAY BE HOLY,
