Celebrating Everyday Spirituality
Pentecost is coming (June 8), so it’s time to pray “Come, Holy Spirit” often—perhaps while mowing the grass or walking the dog. Will the Holy Spirit really come? Of course it will! The Spirit may even strengthen our personal spiritual journey.
Wouldn’t it be great if we all considered Pentecost this year as a time to commit ourselves to being a disciple, a true friend of Jesus?
We begin the Luminous Mysteries with the Baptism of Jesus. It’s his coming out party enjoyed with his cousin John who declared Jesus the Lamb of God. Ready for ministry, trusting his heavenly Father’s backing, but perhaps feeling some emotional reluctance— “My hour has not yet come”—Jesus decides to perform
From Mary’s point of view Every year Joseph and I would travel to Jerusalem for the feast of Passover. We had been doing this for about twelve years traveling with our baby and later with our growing child. This year Jesus was twelve and we trusted Jesus with increased responsibility
As Sisters of Notre Dame, Mary is a model for us as we seek to experience and express God’s goodness and provident care in the unfolding of each day. Join us on the journey!
