Listen to the homily here.

Notes:
Come, Holy Spirit. Come, Holy Spirit. Come, Holy Spirit.
To many of you in our family, welcome home!
· And I am seeking the Holy Spirit that this may bring us together, not only for the Covid-19, not only for the chaos in our state and around our country now, but individually opening our hearts from the Holy Spirit.
After Jesus rose from the dead, took time on earth, he told his disciples: “Receive the Holy Spirit.”
As we come to the apex of Jesus birth, presentation in the Temple, the temptation of the evil one, teaching, healing, forgiving, the passion, crucifixion, death, resurrection, ascension He sent the Holy Spirit. BOOM!
· “And suddenly there came from the sky
a noise like a strong driving wind,
and it filled the entire house in which they were.
Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire,
which parted and came to rest on each one of them.
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit.”

Each of you who has been baptized, who have been confirmed, you have given the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit.
· And as you know the tough stuff we’re going through now, even more the extreme mission to open our hearts to receive His gifts:
o Wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord
· And His fruit:
o Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control
· Each of us have different gifts, different fruits, different charisms
· But we must use them together!
o “May the glory of the LORD endure forever;
may the LORD be glad in his works!
Pleasing to him be my theme;
I will be glad in the LORD.”
may the LORD be glad in his works!
Pleasing to him be my theme;
I will be glad in the LORD.”
Come, Holy Spirit!
