Pentecost 2010
The long summer Sundays labeled “After Pentecost” now stretch before us. Sometimes this is a daunting thing as these Sundays, known as Ordinary Time in the Roman Church, may seem endless. Yet they are not ordinary times. For while the wind and the fire of the Day of Pentecost may fade, we are challenged to keep them in mind as we live out our lives as the people of God. How do we remain true to the Gospel imperative to “spread the Good News?” How do we learn to speak to outsiders in a language they can understand and so become part of the fellowship that the church offers? How do we accept our calling and retain the fire of the Holy Spirit? These Sundays after Pentecost offer lessons in both living together and in spreading the word. I encourage you to make use of the lessons as they appear on this website in order to challenge yourself, both individually and as a member of this parish, to both live the Gospel and to spread its message of hope and redeeming love.
Faithfully yours,
Dick Wyland
Parish Priest
