Graduations and Pentecost 2023

Hello St. Mary Magdalene,

Thank you for tuning in to this week's video. First, a big shoutout and congratulations to all of our graduates! You've done great work and should be proud of your accomplishments. Remember, even in academics, all things that are true lead us closer to Christ, regardless of their discipline.

Second, happy birthday to the Church! Pentecost can rightly be considered the birthday of the Catholic Church as her apostolic mission begins as the Apostles go forth proclaiming the name of Jesus. This weekend's solemnity too, is a great chance for us to reflect on how prominent is the Holy Spirit in our daily life. Do I/we allow the Holy Spirit to govern and influence my thoughts, words, and actions each day? Do I/we allow the Holy Spirit to transform us from within in order to follow Christ and become more perfect disciples?

Have a blessed Pentecost and don't forget to celebrate this glorious apostolic mission to which we've all been given a role!

God bless,

Fr. Chris
