Great Things!

On By Fr. David NeuschwanderIn Easter Season, Special Celebrations

Pentecost Sunday

God is doing great things here in our family of parishes!  More people are coming to Church; more young couples are attending Mass; more kids are being baptized; more families are joining the Church; more people are becoming Catholic — great things are happening here because of you and your witness!

God’s Spirit is being poured out in other places as well.   God is doing great things in vocations in our diocese.  God is doing great things at St. Francis de Sales Seminary in Milwaukee (where we send our graduate seminarians in final preparation for priesthood).

Ascending

On By Fr. David NeuschwanderIn Easter Season

Ascension Sunday

We are called to follow where Christ our Savior went first.  We, like Jesus, are called to be light enough to ascend to the Father: some things weigh us down, and some things raise us up.  Do you ever feel heavy?  Do you ever feel weighed down?  Jesus wants to lighten your load.

Ask Jesus for the grace today, ask the Holy Spirit for the power today: “Lord, give me the grace and the power to let go of one more thing I’m holding onto that’s weighing me down.  And Lord, help me with your grace and power to take one more step in an area that will raise me up!”
