Easter 7th Week, Thursday, May 28

Acts 22:30; 23:6-11 / John 17:20-26 

Jesus continues to pray: “May I live in them as you live in me.”

Christians are four things. First, they’re a body in which Christ lives. Paul writes, “I live, no longer I, but Christ lives in me.” Galatians 2.20

Second, they’re a mind through which Christ thinks. Paul writes, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. ” Phiiippians 2:5 (Kjv)

Third, they’re a voice through which Christ speaks. Jesus said, “Whoever listens to you listens to me.” Luke 10:16

Greeting (See Second Reading)
In the one Spirit we were all baptized,
and one Spirit was given
to us all to drink.
May the Holy Spirit be given to you
and be always with you.

IN PREPARATION FOR PENTECOST-2

Hymn: K 14

Leader: The Holy Spirit is always with us. He is at work in the hearts of each of us. It is he who straightens what is twisted. It is he who makes straight the way of the saviour. He is present in all human aspirations and he corrects in them what must be corrected. We are temples of God and the Holy Spirit lives in us.

Prayer Service in Preparation for Pentecost

Prayer to the Holy Spirit

Hymn:

L: Your Spirit, Lord God, present from the beginning of beginnings, present in the message of the prophets, Kings and Judges of your choice, present in the surrender of faith in Mary and her accompaniment of your son, present in provision for your people, present in the life and words of Jesus, present in the Cross and crucifixion, present in the lives of the apostles, present in the early Christians as they formed into a community, present in their imprisonments and persecutions, present in the Church that you empower. Your Spirit, the presence of God in our hearts and lives, we adore you and we praise you. (Pause)

Easter, 7th Week, Wednesday, May 27th

Acts 20:28-38 / John 17:11-19 

Jesus prays for his disciples: “As the Father sent me, so I send you.”

A legend says that when Jesus ascended into heaven, the angel Gabriel asked him if all the people on earth knew about God’s love for them. “Oh, no!” said Jesus, “just a handful of people do.” Gabriel was shocked and replied, “But, Lord, what if this handful of people let you down? What if they meet with opposition and become discouraged? Don’t you have a back-up plan, just in case?” “No,” said Jesus, “I’m simply counting on them not to let me down.”
