And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them,
“Receive the Holy Spirit.
Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them,
and whose sins you retain are retained.”
(John 20:19-23)

Take home wisdom from the Homily of Rev. Fr. Romel Vergara:
"Help please, I cannot breathe!"
Every time we cannot breathe because we are suffocated by our different fears, we should not look for food, material things, or group of friends for us to be pacified. Let us go to our own Sisters, there we can find the peace that we are looking for. Our Sisters are the instruments of the Holy Spirit to breathe on us and give us strength.

Breathe on me, Breath of God,
fill me with life anew,
that I may love the way you love,
and do what you would do.
Breathe on me, Breath of God,
until my heart is pure,
until my will is one with yours,
to do and to endure.
Breathe on me, Breath of God,
so shall I never die,
but live with you the perfect life
for all eternity.
(Psalter Hymnal, 1987)
Blessed Pentecost Sunday! Everyone...
