First Reading - Acts 8:54, a4-17 There was joy in the city of Samaria went philip went there to proclaim Christ to the multitudes. Unclean spirits came out of rnany who were possessed, and many of the paralyzed and lame were healed. Later Peter and John went to Samaria and prayed that the people might receive the Holy Spirit, and the peopie responded in great numbers. Second Reading

Gcspel- john 14f.;5-21

the Last Supper Jesus was preparing his followers for his last hours. He told them to keep his commandments and assured them of the presence of the "spirit of tnrth" withia their lives. They wouldknow that he was with "the Father,, and that he would be present with them as well.

the apostles that he is about to leave them "for a while,' but

that He would be with them through His Spirit. ln this

passage, we learn about the Trinity (the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit: All are One yet each has His specific role in God's Plan of Salvation. The "Oneness" of the Trinity is held together by the divine and perfect spiritual love that they share and want to share with us. This is the love that philip shared with the Samaritans. This is the love that made the Psalmist sing the praises of God. And this is the love that made St. Peter so brave and bold after the Holy Spirit descended upon him that first Pentecost Sunday.

Does the love of God reign in your heart? lf not, pray to the Holy Spirit to help you find this love, joy and peace. Something to think about during your prayer Time this weekl

Stewardship begins with Discipleship Stewardship

is a

conversion journey of

receiving God's love and returning it to Him. A conversion requires prayer, reflection and time to allow God to show us who we are, and the person of love we can become. Throughout the conversion experience, a Disciple yearns to change and grow into the person God created them to be - a Steward uniquely his own, but united in one Body through |esus Christ.

Deqn?ndne We are often encouraged to invite non-Catholic

friends to Mass, but is it also OK to visit their churches on Sunday? f I

with others. We don't even have to invite or share as a way to convert. We can simply teach others about our Catholic faith. It is especially appropriate at a special celebration, a flrst Communion, a wedding, or a funeral. You can visit your friends' churches on Sundays or for special occasions in the same vein. It's good to learn about other religions and support our friends in their faith life. However, as Catholics we also have an obligation to attend Mass every Sunday. Going to another church for a Sunday service is not the same as participating in the hiiass, so it would not fulfill that Sunday obligation. Additionally, you won't is good to invite friends to our Church and share our faith

be abie to receive Communion in most other

churches, iust as your friends can't receive Communion in the Cathoiic Church, So if you go to another serrrice on a Sunday, make sure you also attend Mass. Niany churches may have the same readings or similar rituals, br"rt as Catholics we need to be nourished weekly throtrgh the celebration of the Eucharist. A few churches believe what we beiieve about the Eucharist, and they will be listed in most i:' missalettes. If you were lo attend one of these churches, it wouid fulfill your Sunday obligation. For more information from the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, do an Internet search {or Directory for the Application of Principles and Narms af Ecumenism, and see paragraph 123.
