Pentecost

50 days after Easter is the feast of Pentecost - the birth of the Church. Ordinary men transformed by the power of the Spirit. As Father Mark put it, the love of the Father poured out for the Son in the form of the Holy Spirit - a power that can transform our lives today. In the liturgical sense, things are happening thick and fast as next week will be our patronal feast and the day that a number of our young parishioners make their First Holy Communion. Yesterday, was first Reconcilliation (confession to us older types). Mrs Choirboy was in attendance as she and Pat A have been the chief catechists for this group. Mrs Choirboy took over from Pat O'C who thankfully is back with us after her illness. We were also blessed with the presence of Father Baruti from Tanzania to tell us first hand of the impact of Tukae (one of our parish charities). We were able to hear how our small efforts are having a big impact in the Tanzanian Highlands. Finally we were all given gifts of the Spirit as mass ended (pieces of paper distributed by the children). Choirboy's youngest must have been blessed for having cycled over a snake this aftern0on which was quietly dozing, he picked it up not once but twice before Choirboy confirmed to him that it was an adder and that it was well and truly alive ! Phew.....
