Come Holy Spirit!On the feast of Pentecost, which many consider to be the birthday of the church, we are reminded that we are not left alone in the world after Jesus' ascension.

The Gospel this Sunday sounds so simple: "Love one another."But it is not easy to do in real life.

We are 'loved' so we also have the power to love.
