Dear Friend,
We hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend and will have the chance to enjoy the start of summer. May it also be a time for us to honor all the men and women who have given their very lives for our sake.
Our American celebration coincides with the feast of Pentecost which we celebrate this Sunday. On this feast, we recall how the Apostles were inspired by the Holy Spirit to go out into the world. In dramatic fashion, with a burst of wind blowing through the room and tongues of fire coming down upon the Apostles, they were transformed.
What they possessed was handed down, which was handed down, which we now inherit - both the responsibility and the capacity to share Gods love with the world.
May the two reminders before us this weekend - Pentecost and Memorial Day - lead you have a wonderful, meaningful, and safe weekend with your family and friends.
