PENTECOST SUNDAY EMMAUS MASS SHEET
19th May 2024
“COME HOLY SPIRIT…………….”THE HOLY SPIRIT transformed the apostles from being inward- looking, timid and afraid, to being outward-looking and bold in proclaiming the Risen and Ascended Lord. The Spirit set them on fire: for this reason we sometimes call the Feast of Pentecost theBIRTHDAY of the Church.
The Holy Spirit can do the same for us—if we are open and really want to be transformed.
Pope Francis said “The Spirit is the wind pushing us forward, keeping us going, that makes us feel like pilgrims and foreigners and doesn’t allow us to get comfortable and become sedentary…………
HOPE collects the wind of the Spirit and transforms it into energy”.
This Pentecost, pray that we shall all be filled with the Holy Spirit and be full of hope.
How well do we know the Gifts and Fruits of the Holy Spirit?
The Seven Giftsof the Holy Spirit are: Wisdom, Understanding Counsel, Fortitude, Knowledge Piety Fear of the Lord.
The Twelve Fruits of the Holy Spirit are: Charity, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Generosity, Gentleness, Faithfulness, Modesty, Self-Control and Chastity.
COME, HOLY SPIRIT, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love……….
Fr David Barnes, Rector
Prayer to the Holy Spirit
Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and enkindle in them the fire of your love.
V. Send forth your Spirit, and they shall be created.
R. And You shall renew the face of the earth.
Let us pray: O, God, who taught the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant that by the gift of the same Holy Spirit we may be always truly wise and ever enjoy rejoice in his consolations. Through Christ Our Lord. R.Amen.

PRAY FOR PEACE
God of peace, bearer of hope,
We seek your help
For the peoples of the Middle East.
Quiet the clamour of war
And guide us towards peace.
Where there is hatred and division
Sow seeds of calm and openness.
Where there is destruction
Help us to rebuild.
Where children are crying
Bring an end to tears.
Shelter your peoples and protect them
Guide them and keep them from harm.
Show us how to break down the barriers of history and fear
And breathe whispers of hope.
Amen.
Linda Jones / CAFOD

PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS
Lord Jesus Christ, Guide and Shepherd of your people,
touch the hearts of our young people, that they may, for the love of you
give their lives in the service of the Church.
Renew the hearts of priests, that they may model their lives on the mystery of the Cross
and imitate the Sacred Mysteries they celebrate at the altar.
Strengthen our families, that they may generously support those of their sons
whom you call to serve you as priests. Amen
********************************************
PRAYER OF ST THERESE OF LISIEUX FOR PRIESTS (please pray often for this intention)
O Jesus, I pray for your faithful and fervent priests;
for your unfaithful and tepid priests;
for your priests labouring at home or abroad in distant mission fields;
for your tempted priests; for your lonely and desolate priests;
for your young priests; for your dying priests;
for the souls of your priests in Purgatory.
But above all, I recommend to you the priests dearest to me;
the priest who baptised me; the priests who absolved me from my sins;
the priests at whose Masses I assisted
and who gave me Your Body and Blood in Holy Communion;
the priests who taught and instructed me;
all the priests to whom I am indebted in any other way.
O Jesus, keep them all close to your heart, and bless them
abundantly in time and in eternity. Amen
