What a blessing to have these young girls join the choir this morning! Their smiles and voices added something extra special to the service. It’s wonderful to see the next generation sharing their talents and helping lead worship through music. Thank you, girls, for making the morning so beautiful!

The Holy Spirit does not come empty-handed. He brings gifts that strengthen, enlighten and transform the Christian life. 🕊️

The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit are not abstract ideas, but graces that help us become more docile to God’s will and more faithful witnesses of the Gospel.

The 7 Gifts of the Holy Spirit:

1️⃣ Wisdom
Helps us see life through God’s eyes and value what leads us to Him.

2️⃣ Understanding
Helps us grasp the truths of the faith more deeply and allow God’s Word to enter our hearts.

3️⃣ Counsel
Guides us in our choices and helps us distinguish good from evil, especially in difficult moments.

4️⃣ Fortitude
Gives us courage, perseverance and strength to remain faithful in trials.

5️⃣ Knowledge
Helps us recognize God’s presence in creation, in our lives and in His plan for us.

6️⃣ Piety
Opens our hearts to love God as Father and to live with charity toward others.

7️⃣ Fear of the Lord
Is not terror, but reverence, trust and the desire not to turn away from God.

When we open our hearts to these gifts, the Holy Spirit renews us from within and helps us live as true disciples of Christ.

Come, Holy Spirit.
Fill our hearts and guide us on the path to Heaven. 🙏

As the fires continue in southwest Kansas, please stop and take a moment to pray for rain in the affected areas. The following prayer is from Catholic Rural Life.

Almighty God, we are in need of rain. We realize now, looking up into the clear, blue sky, what a marvel even the least drop of rain really is. To think that so much water can fall out of the sky, which now is empty and clear! We place our trust in you. We are sure that you know our needs. But you want us to ask you anyway, to show you that we know we are dependent on you. Look on our dry hills and fields, dear God, and bless them with the living blessing of gentle rain. Then the land will rejoice, and the rivers will sing your praises, and the hearts of all will be made glad. Amen.

As a Holy Day of Obligation, this falls on the fortieth day after Easter Sunday - The Ascension of the Lord.

It signifies the end of Jesus' earthly ministry and his exaltation to the right hand of God.

Since it falls on Thursday, May 14, this Solemnity is transferred to the following Sunday.

Lord Jesus,
You who by ascending into heaven clothed us with the gift of the Holy Spirit, make us your witnesses in our daily lives telling of the joy of your Mercy.
