Parish Theme for 2011  (June Reflection)

To Love and To Serve the Lord”

 

1.     Love is the way to peace.  “My peace I give to you, I do not give to you as the world gives.” Jesus said.

2.     The Holy Spirit is a gift from God.  He is divine, he is the Third person of God.  “Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God” St. Paul advised us.
