ST. DOROTHY CHURCH
May 15, 2016
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I saw this reflection in “”Exploring the Sunday Readings” published by Twenty-Third Publications and
wanted to share it.
HOW DOES THE HOLY SPIRIT WORK
“When the Spirit comes, the Spirit of truth, the Spirit will guide you to all truth.”
When we walk in the dark, we tend to bang up against all sorts of uncomfortable things.
The same thing happens when we walk in spiritual darkness.
We smash into all kinds of unhappy self-realizations and hurtful situations.
We harm ourselves, and we can do a lot of damage to the people we care about, when we
choose to avoid the lighted path.
The Holy Spirit is the source of truth. But that indwelling-Spirit doesn’t operate on autopilot.
It’s a consultative process.
And the consultation has to result in collaboration or we’re fooling ourselves.
The Spirit is like the electric company, and the electrician who built your house, and all the municipal collaborations necessary to bring light into a single room. All the power you need is assembled at your fingertips. But if you don’t actually turn on the light, you’ll be sitting in the dark.
Question for Reflection:
What efforts do you make to turn on the light of truth: do you pray regularly, receive the Sacrament,
do spiritual reading, attend Bible study, go on retreat, share your faith?
Peace, Fr. Mark

Pentecost Sunday

SPIRITUALITY 101: 7 GIFTS AND 12 FRUITS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
Today is the Feast of Pentecost and is the day we
celebrate the Gifts of the Holy Spirit given to the
Church. All of us need a spiritual boost at times. So on
this great Feast, you may want to pray for an extra
helping of one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Gift of Understanding gives us a deeper insight into
the divine truths of faith. It discloses to the soul the
hidden meaning of Scripture and reveals the mysterious significance of many of the symbols and figures
used there.
Gift of Knowledge allows us to judge correctly concerning the truths of faith in accord with their proper
causes. It makes us see the emptiness of created
things and the necessity of placing our complete trust
in God. As this gift shows us the gravity of sin, it corresponds with the beatitude of those who weep for
their sins.
Gift of Wisdom is given that we may judge and order all things in accord with God’s command. It is the
ability to have the Holy Spirit “see in us” as God sees.
This is the highest of the gifts as it gives a quasi– experimental knowledge of God and thus directs the
other gifts. The gift of wisdom elevates the virtue of
charity to heroism and causes the person to live the
mysteries of faith in an entirely divine manner.
Gift of Counsel (*Right Judgment) renders the person docile and open to God’s counsel with regard to
the actions that must be done in light of salvation and
one’s sanctification. It provides a solution to many
difficult and unexpected situations and problems. This
gift is very important for those who must counsel
others along their road to holiness. As this gift in-
clines one’s soul to be merciful to others, it corresponds with the beatitude of the merciful.
Gift of Piety (*Reverence) is given so that one may
give filial worship to God as our Father. It places in us
a truly filial love for God the Father and it arouses in
the soul a filial confidence in Him. It allows us to relate with others as children of the same Father.
Gift of Fortitude (*Courage) allows us to overcome
great difficulties and gives us a power infused by God
to endure pain and suffering with patience and joy. It
gives the soul relentless strength in the practice of the
virtues and overcomes our lukewarmness in the service of God. This gift is related to the beatitude of
those who hunger and thirst after holiness and
never become discouraged in their pursuit of it.
Gift of the Fear of the Lord (*Awe In His Presence) is
given that we may avoid sin and attachment to creatures out of reverence and love of God. It perfects our
hope by reserving us from presumption and it gives
us aid against temptations. The gift gives us a lively
sentiment of the grandeur and majesty of God and
arouses in the sould adoration. The person is led to a
great horror for sin and given an extreme vigilance to
avoid the occasions of offending God. It corresponds
to the beatitude of the poor in spirit who possess
the fear of the Lord, the beginning of wisdom.
*Term used in the Rite of Confirmation
What are the Twelve Fruits of the Holy Spirit?
The twelve fruits of the Holy Sprit are works
that we can perform only with the aid of the Holy
Spirit. Therefore, the performance of such works is
an indication that he Holy Spirit dwells in the Christian believer.
Love: We exhibit
the virtue of
charity, or love
by our unselfish
devotion and
care for God and
our neighbor.
Joy: We live with
joy when we
recognize that
true happiness
comes, not from possessions, but from knowing
and following Christ.
Peace: We are freed from worrying about trivial
things because of the inner peace we experience
with God in our hearts. We work and pray for peace
throughout the world.
Patience: WE demonstrate patience by treating
others with thoughtfulness and tolerance. We know
that we can overcome the temptations and sufferings of life because God is always with us.
Kindness: WE live the virtue of kindness by treating
others as we wanted to be treated .
Goodness: We exhibit goodness when we honor
God by avoiding sin and always trying to do what
we know is right.
Generosity: We demonstrate generosity when we
all share our gifts and possessions with others.
Gentleness: Gentle people act calmly and avoid
actions that might lead others to anger and resentment.
Faithfulness: We are faithful when we live out our
commitment to the teachings of Jesus, the Scriptures, and the Catholic Church.
Modesty: We exhibit modesty by being pure in our
thoughts, words, and dress.
Self-Control: WE exercise self-control by working
to overcome the temptations we face and by trying
always to do God’s will.
Chastity: We live the virtue of chastity when we use
the gift of sexuality wisely , according to God’s plan.
