Father Sean's Weekly Message
may 10, 2026
“When Phillip ‘proclaimed the Christ’ to the crowds, 'with one accord' they 'paid attention to what was said.' Their full acceptance of the Word of God inspired Peter and John to go to them and lay hands on them so that they would receive the Holy Spirit. This fulfills what Jesus promised us the night before he died: 'The Father will give you the Spirit of truth. He will be in you.' The 'reason for our hope' is a Person we have met: Christ the Lord, whom we sanctify in our hearts and whose commandments we keep. Just as the crowds are transfixed by the attraction of Philip, so we are captivated by the One who has loved us and revealed himself to us. He is the source of our 'great joy.'" (Magnificat, May 2026, pg. 130)
Collect:
Grant, almighty God,
that we may celebrate with heartfelt devotion
these days of joy,
which we keep in honor of the risen Lord,
and that what we relive in remembrance
we may always hold to in what we do.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the
Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
