Thought for the day: The four marks of our Christian belonging are our personal journey, our community belonging, our practical discipleship and our adult integration of faith and life. None of us “inhabits” all four dimensions fully, all of the time, and yet all four dimensions should in principle be there. The good news of Pentecost is that the Spirit, poured into our hearts, enables all four aspects of our faith to live: the Spirit helps us in our prayer; the body of Christ is animated by the gifts of the Spirit; our service of others gets its energy from the Spirit and the Spirit “reminds us” of all that Jesus taught. Today, we celebrate discipleship in the community of faith. Prayer: We open our hearts and lives to you, Holy Spirit: breathe a breath of new life into us all! Amen.

Pope’s Intention for June: That the world may grow in compassion: Let us pray that each one of us might find consolation in a personal relationship with Jesus, and from his Heart, learn to have compassion on the world.
Pope Leo XIV on X: Even when it seems we are able to do little in life, it is always worthwhile. There is always the possibility to find meaning, because God loves our life. God wants to give His Kingdom, that is, full, eternal and happy life, to everyone. This is what Jesus does with us: He does not establish rankings; He gives all of Himself to those who open their hearts to Him.

Paidir do Scoláirí: Loving God be with me now as I prepare for my exams. Thank you for the many talents, gifts and the opportunity of education you have given me. Calm my nerves and anxiety, help me to remember all that I have studied, to express it clearly and to answer the questions to the best of my ability. Holy Spirit, be with me in my exams – and always. Amen.
We pray for all who are sitting exams these days, may the Lord be with each one of them, may he keep them calm and focused and may the Holy Spirit guide and help them.
Prayer: Send down, O God, upon your people the flame of your Holy Spirit, and fill with the abundance of your sevenfold gift the Church you brought forth from your son’s pierced side. May your life-giving Spirit lend fire to our words and strength to our witness. Send us forth to the nations of the world to proclaim with boldness your wondrous work of raising Christ to your right hand. Amen
Prayer of Blessed Henry Newman:
O Lord, support us all day long,
until the shadows lengthen,
and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done. Then in your mercy, grant us a safe lodging and a holy rest, and peace at last.
