CHEERS!
Once again, Bishop George Leo Thomas has assigned a seminarian

31st. As you can see and hear in the above video, I interviewed Robert for
my weekend “Cheers” column. Here are some of the bullet points from
that interview.

OUTREACH MINISTRY
Do you have a pile of plastic grocery bags at home? If so, please bring them in along with your non-perishable food donations and place them in the food bins. All the food collected for Casa de Luz gets bagged up for recipients but the cost of purchasing bags has become prohibitive. Thank you for your support!

GOSPEL REFLECTION QUESTIONS
FIRST READING: Acts 2:1-11
RESPONSORIAL PSALM: Ps 104:1, 24, 29-30, 31, 34

Use the following discussion/reflection questions with your families, spouse, your friends, or even as personal journal questions:
1. What is one area of your life that can benefit from intentional renewal?
2. How do you work to bring Christ's message to those who "speak a different language" than you, perhaps in politics or career? How do you engage those who are different from you?
3. Knowing that the first act of the Holy Spirit when sent to the apostles is the work of communication, how can you renew the way you speak with family, friends and colleagues?
4. Have you ever gone to Mass in another country and heard the words you know so well spoken in a different language? What was this experience like?
WEEKLY WORSHIP
Haven't Seen it Yet
by Danny Gokey
Have you been praying
And you still have no answers
Have you been pouring out your heart for so many years
Have you been hoping
That things would have changed by now
Have you cried all the faith you have through so many tears
Don’t forget the things that He has done before
And remember He can do it all once more
It’s like the brightest sunrise
Waiting on the other side
Of the darkest night
Don’t ever lose hope, hold on and believe
Maybe you just haven’t seen it
Just haven’t seen it yet
You’re closer than you think you are
Only moments from the break of dawn
All His promises are just up ahead
Maybe you just haven’t seen it
Just haven’t seen it yet
He had the solution
Before you had the problem
He sees the best in you when you feel at your worst
So in the questioning don’t ever doubt His love for you
‘Cause it’s only in His love that you’ll find a breakthrough
He is moving with a love so deep
Hallelujah for the victory
Good things are coming even when we can’t see
We can’t see it yet, but we believe that
