WHY IS PENTECOST THE BIRTHDAY OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH?

Pentecost is called the “birthday of the Church” because it marks the day the Church began its public mission in the world.

After Jesus ascended into heaven, the apostles were gathered together in prayer with the Blessed Virgin Mary. They were afraid, uncertain, and hiding behind closed doors. But everything changed on Pentecost.

As described in Acts 2, the Holy Spirit descended upon them like a mighty wind and tongues of fire. The apostles were filled with courage, wisdom, and strength. Suddenly, they went out publicly to preach about Jesus Christ.

People from many nations heard the message in their own languages, and about three thousand people were baptized that day. This was the beginning of the Church’s mission to spread the Gospel to all nations.

Pentecost is not simply the celebration of an event from the past. It reminds us that the Church is alive because the Holy Spirit is alive within her.

The same Spirit who strengthened the apostles continues to guide the Church today:

- through preaching and teaching
- through the sacraments
- through the lives of the saints
- and through ordinary Christians who live their faith with courage and love

Just as birth marks the beginning of life, Pentecost marks the beginning of the Church’s life and mission in the world.

Memorial of the Translation of Our Holy Father St. Dominic de Guzman

In accordance with his wishes, St Dominic was buried ‘beneath the feet of his brethren’ in the church of St Nicholas of the Vineyards, Bologna. Many of the sick avowed that they had been healed of their infirmities at his tomb; the brethren however were loath to recognize these miracles and accept votive offerings. However, on 24 May 1233, at the urging of Gregory IX and in the presence of Theodoric, archbishop of Ravenna and papal legate, Dominic’s body was moved to a marble sepulcher during the celebration of a General Chapter at Bologna attended by Bl. Jordan of Saxony and many brethren. Immediately a certain marvelous odor came forth from his sacred body, ‘showing clearly to all how much the saint had truly been the aroma of Christ.

Solemnity of Pentecost

PENTECOST comes from the Greek word “Pentecoste” meaning 50th day. Pentecost Sunday is one of the most prominent feast days in the Christian calendar. It is often referred to as the “BIRTHDAY OF THE CHURCH”.

It marks the day when the HOLY SPIRIT descended upon the Apostles, who had been living in fear for fifty days following the resurrection of Jesus Christ on Easter Sunday.

On Pentecost, the HOLY SPIRIT came down visibly on the Apostles. He gave them the power to speak in strange tongues to the crowds that came to Jerusalem for that Feast. He also transformed them, from selfish and timid men into giants of courage and faith.

SATURDAY DEVOTION TO OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY, LA NAVAL DE MANILA
" La Gran Señora de Filipinas "

Holy Mary, at the sound of your voice, Elizabeth, was filled with the Holy Spirit, and the baby in her womb leapt for joy. Visit us as you visited the home of Elizabeth. During our earthly pilgrimage towards God's kingdom, may we magnify the Lord whose greatness endures from age to age, who lifts up the lowly, fills the starving with good things, and comes to the help of His servants. Our Lady of the Rosary of La Naval, Our Mother, first disciple of your Son Jesus, intercede for us in our most earnest request

(pause for a moment and offer your petition).

May we, in turn heed your unceasing call to do whatever your Son tells us to do. With your powerful intercession, we believe that what is most difficult can be done, what we have overlooked, you cannot miss, what is meaningless, bitter or painful can be transformed into fulfillment, gratitude and joy. Amen.

Our Lady of the Rosary, La Naval de Manila, Pray for us.

It's Friday the day we commemorate the Sacred Passion of Our Lord. let us pray to the Lord and King of San Pedro City, Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Sepulchre that He may grant His mercy and compassion on us who follow his ways and examples.

The Miraculous Lord and King of San Pedro City - The Lord in the Holy Sepulchre is venerated in His Diocesan Shrine and Parish in Brgy. Landayan, San Pedro City, Laguna. His feast day is celebrated every May 29.

**********************************************

PRAYER TO OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IN THE HOLY SEPULCHRE

Oh my Jesus, sent by our merciful and loving Father, to redeem us from the wretchedness of sin – we thank you and we worship you.

Now that we are beleaguered by the sorrows of this life while contemplating the moment you are laid upon your sacred tomb, and in virtue of your sufferings which bestowed upon us an abundance of Grace – we ask you to grant us this special favor…(silently pray for your personal intentions).

Grant, Lord Jesus, that imitating you, may we remain obedient to the will of our heavenly Father; may we be humble and contrite, and wholeheartedly return to you; with steadfast love and commitment to serve and offer ourselves to others, just as you did for all of us.

We beg you, Lord Jesus in the Holy Sepulchre, that at the moment when our lives here on earth is ended, may we share – in your heavenly home – the fruits of the redemption you’ve done for us.

For you live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever, Amen.

Conclude with: Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be.

FRIDAY DEVOTION TO THE SEÑOR STO. CRISTO

Lord Jesus, when I see You up there, hands and feet nailed to the cross; Your side cruelly pierced; Your lifeless body hanging between heaven and earth. My heart goes out to You, in pity for Your sufferings, and in sorrow for my sins and for the sins of all the world that caused such agony and torment. With Your Blessed Mother, who stood bravely by the Cross, and with Your beloved disciple, allow me to accompany You for a while.

Speak to me in the depths of my being, so that I may come to understand a little of the infinite love, that brought You to the Cross, and to drink from the fountain of life that flows from it.

(Pause for a moment)

Santo Cristo, grant us the grace to understand the meaning of Your cross in our lives. Bless us with good health in mind and spirit so that we may carry our own crosses with faith, hope and love. Amen!
