The first reading today tells us that all the disciples, including His Blessed Mother, gathered together after the Ascension and <b>\u201cthey joined in continuous prayer\u201d. <\/b>Thus since the days of the early church, these nine days or \u201cnovena\u201d have always been regarded as the \u201cGreat Novena\u201d. Days when the whole church joins together in a time of intense prayer to await the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. Also in the Gospel we hear Jesus praying in a very powerful way to Father in Heaven during his Final Discourses, for all of us to recognize the love of God that is within us.&nbsp; Pray intensely this week that the Holy Spirit will flood into lives the Pentecost, especially coming those who are most in need.<\/p>\n<p>To view and download a copy of the Weekly Newsletter click <a href=\"https:\/\/11host.me\/stmary\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2023\/05\/210523 7thEasterA.pdf\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>To view and download a copy of the Prayers of the Faithful click <a href=\"https:\/\/11host.me\/stmary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/210523 7thEasterABidding.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>To make a donation click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mygivinghub.com\/detailed\/donate?charity_id=1086324&amp;type=2&amp;reference=Y18&amp;amount=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>7th Sunday of Easter&nbsp; &#8211;&nbsp; Year A In between the Feast of The Ascension and Pentecost there are nine days.
