From the desk of Deacon Tyrone
This weekend as we light the second candle, we continue our journey towards both the second coming of Christ and preparing for his first coming celebration on Christmas day. It is important to allow our faith to open our eyes and ears to the goodness of Gods love.
In our Gospel we hear the cries of John the Baptist to the people of Israel, “Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his path.”
We too are called to prepare our lives in anticipation of Christ coming, and we are blessed to see it happening here at Holy Spirit. RCIA catechumens and candidates will experience the Rite of Acceptance and Welcome this weekend. Our young people are attending the Children’s Faith formation Program on Wednesday nights to learn more about God and prepare for the sacraments. The youth continue to meet on Sunday evenings to grow in their faith as they prepare for confirmation.
All around our parish groups are meeting in an array of diverse ministries to reach out to all our brothers and sister. Faith in action is what we are all called to, no matter the size of the act – it can glorify our lord.
I encourage you, if you are not already involved, to seek out one the many groups here at Holy Spirit and volunteer your time for others, and you will find that it may bring you some peace so needed during this hectic season.
Blessings,
Deacon Tyrone
