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 ~SAINT DOROTHY CHURCH NEWS AND HAPPENINGS~ Ordinary Time May 16 Feast of the Holy Trinity May 22nd Feast of the Body and Blood of Jesus May 29th Oak Tree Festival NEXT WEEKEND Come join us for carnival games, rides, live entertainment and great food at our Annual Oak Tree Festival.

Pentecost Sunday Page Three 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. Pastoral Staff & Directory Rev. Mark Warnstedt Pastor ext. 100 Rev.
