LITURGY OF THE WORD

(Reception of the Holy Spirit)

Philip carried the good news to Samaria. He performed many miracles.

Peter and John laid hands on these people in Samaria,

and they received the Holy Spirit.

 

 

RESPONSORIAL PSALM 66

(Glorious Deeds)

Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.

 

 

2nd READING 1st LETTER OF SAINT PETER 3:15-18

(Life in the Spirit)

Always worship God in your hearts.

Jesus died for sins just once for all who are

sinners to lead us to God.

 

THE GOSPEL OF JOHN 14:15-21

(Eternal Presence)

Jesus promises to ask for a Paraclete for those who love Him. The world will not accept or understand the Paraclete. All who obey the commandments show their love for God and will be loved in return.

St. Patrick Church Appeal

Life Is Not A Spectator Sport. Church life beyond Mass also requires engagement, getting involved, and taking initiative rather than just watching events unfold. Active participation helps individuals connect with one another, providing support, friendship, and shared values. Involvement in church life, such as in study groups or ministry, helps individuals deepen their knowledge of faith and find meaning. The St. Patrick Church Appeal form, including a list of time and talent opportunities is available in the Narthex. Please obtain a form and discern how you can share your time, talent, and treasure.
