Faith Facts - Week 5 and 6

Week 5:

Pentecost – Pentecost is a Christian holy day that celebrates the coming of the Holy Spirit 40 days after Easter. We celebrate Pentecost Sunday on 4th June. In the Gospel reading on Sunday we hear Jesus saying, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you." We are called to bear witness to our faith by being the hands, the feet, the face and the voice of Jesus in our world. Filled with the gift of the Holy Spirit we have the strength to do this! Some Christian denominations consider it the birthday of the Christian church. Let’s celebrate!

Week 6:

Trinity Sunday – Trinity Sunday will be celebrated this coming Sunday. On his Food for Faith site Father John O’Connor has this to say. “The Trinity is known to be a mystery, but a mystery is often thought to be something that cannot be understood. This is not true. A mystery is something that can only be understood through the eyes of faith. On the site he has posted a great clip that helps us appreciate or relationship with Father, Son and Holy Spirit; the Trinity. Take a look... it’s less than 4 minute long https://goo.gl/3JRQKw and will help your understanding.
