(2) We continue our catechetical meetings today after the 11AM Mass in our hall. All of you are invited. This program is in Hungarian. The next meeting will be on May 24, the Pentecost, when we will celebrate the Church’s birthday with a cake.
(3) ROSARY: in the month of May on the Sundays before the 11AM Mass at 10:25am.
NOVENA TO THE HOLY SPIRIT FOR THE SEVEN GIFTS: The novena in honor of the Holy Spirit is the oldest of all novenas since it was first made at the direction of Our Lord Himself when He sent His apostles back to Jerusalem to await the coming of the Holy Spirit on the first Pentecost. It is still the only novena officially prescribed by the Church. Addressed to the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity, it is a powerful plea for the light and strength and love so sorely needed by every Christian.
This Novena begins on the day after the Solemnity of the Ascension, Friday of the 6th Week of Easter, even if the Solemnity of the Ascension is transferred to the 7th Sunday. I highly recommend praying this novena (even if we have a late start). Below is a sample version:
Come, Spirit of Wisdom, dispose our hearts to know and value the things of heaven above the things of earth and show us the way to salvation.
Come, Spirit of Understanding, enlighten our minds to the mysteries of salvation and grant that we may come to a fuller knowledge of you.
Come, Spirit of Counsel, guide us in the way of your commandments. Incline us to do good. Keep us from evil and bring us to everlasting life.
Come, Spirit of Fortitude, strengthen us in every trial and help us in our struggle against evil. Never let us be parted from you.
Come, Spirit of Knowledge, help us to see beyond the passing joys of this world to the glories you have prepared for us.
Come, Spirit of Piety, stir up our hearts to true holiness and love of you. May we always seek you in spirit and in truth.
Come, Spirit of the Fear of the Lord, teach us ever to set the Lord before us and to avoid whatever is displeasing to you. Bring us all one day to the fullness of your love.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now and will be forever. Amen.
