Pentecost

Last week we celebrated Pentecost! Pentecost is celebrated on the 49th day after Easter Sunday 

In the celebration of Pentecost, we wear RED to help us remember the descendent of the Holy Spirit. To prepare our hearts as we celebrate the Feast of Pentecost in this unique time let us ponder together the loving gifts presented to us 

God's Gifts

Wisdom–The gift of knowing and recognizing God’s goodness deep in our hearts. With the gift of wisdom comes knowing how to use the knowledge God has given us. Understanding–The gift that sheds great light on us to know more about God. It helps us come closer to the mystery of God. 
Fear of the Lord –This gift places us in the right relationship with God. Our place is before God, we are in front of the Mystery. This is a good fear, in Hebrew it would be “awe.” 
Counsel–The gift that helps us when we make good and loving decisions, so we know what should be done and how to do it. 
Fortitude–The gift in our own spirit of becoming strong and faithful in God. 
Knowledge –The gift of being able to know God more and more each day. 
Piety –The gift of love, so we can love God and each other more and more each day.

Prayer: Lord, Take me where you want me to go, Let me meet who you want me to meet, Tell me what you want me to say, and keep me out of your way. AMEN -The Rev. Mychal Judge
