Welcome to Resurrection Catholic Parish outreach

through electronic communication.

Constantly striving to find better ways to help our parish members become engaged in Jesus and live faith filled lives, we are broadening our messaging to include email as an affordable communication platform.

 

Too often we work in  a web of ideas and invest time reading email for business, school and just plain fun. But email can also be an oasis of prayerful reflection, a conduit to Stewardship opportunities, a bridge to improving circumstances and a widening of the mind and spirit.

Prayerful Reflection from Bishop Robert Morneau

Yves Congar (1904-1995) was a French Dominican priest and a noted theologian. Over the years I have read and reread his three volume work I Believe in the Holy Spirit. Probably for most of us, the Holy Spirit is the least understood person of the Trinity since we tend to focus on God as our Father or Jesus as our Savior and Friend. So what does Fr. Congar have to teach us about the Holy Spirit?

    

“The Holy Spirit is active in history and causes new and sometimes very confusing things to take place in it” (I, 115); “The part played in our upbringing by the Holy Spirit is that of mother – a mother who enables us to know our Father, God, and our brother, Jesus. The Spirit enables us to invoke God as our Father and he reveals to us Jesus our Lord, introducing us gradually to his inheritance of grace and truth. Finally, he teaches us how to practice the virtues and how to use the gifts of a son of God by grace” (III, 161); “Singing is the expression of the Spirit in beauty” (II, 58); “The Spirit forms, deepens, expands and adjusts our desire to the desire of God by giving it the same object” (II, 116).

 

One of the great prayers of the Church is simply: “Come, Holy Spirit, come.” 

And if we are open to the Spirit’s coming, powerful things will happen in our lives.
