Father Brians Message

Gentle and Dear Reader

On this joyful Pentecost Sunday my prayer is, that we will all be filled with God’s powerful Holy Spirit. Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful people with the fire of your love.

The Spirit can give us the power, the grace and the strength, to live and act in a way that we of ourselves could never do. The Spirit can give us the grace, for example, to forgive, when we know that of ourselves we could not. The Spirit can give us the power and courage to stand up and witness to our faith, when we know that of ourselves we could not. This is exactly what it means to live a life in the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit, the blessing of Pentecost is given, so that we can lead lives of love.

Warm congratulations to the 28 Candidates confirmed at Holy Name today. Great thanks to the excellent team who have given them so much of their time and talents, and to their families who have encouraged them. Congratulations, too, to the First Communion children, again lovingly prepared by excellent catechists. You are
in my thoughts and prayers in these grace-filled days, where God’s Holy Spirit abounds. Joy and Love to you all.

Your devoted brother in Christ

With Love and Prayer, Father Brian
