May 11th is Pentecost Sunday, and as part of our ongoing commitment to Spiritual Renewal, we will not only renew our baptismal vows but we will also recommit ourselves to Jesus Christ and growth in our relationship with Him.  Please plan to be present, and invite someone to join you, for this important ritual.

Deepening your relationship to Jesus Christ

1. Read the Gospel of the day every morning and/or evening.  Ask yourself, what do I hear?  How am I challenged?  How am I comforted?

2. Spend time in prayer every day.  Start with a short time—1-5 minutes, and increase the time you spend over a month.

3. Participate in Sunday Eucharist every week. It is the place where we meet Jesus in a very special way.

4. Before every meal, thank Jesus for the gift of bread you will share.

5. Make it a habit to greet the day with an affirmation of Jesus’ presence.

6. End your day with a short examination of how you met Jesus this day.

7. Visit a website that offers some meditation or opportunities to reflect on your relationship with Jesus

8. Read a spiritual book.

9. Look for moments in your day when you need Jesus, or you sense Jesus’ presence.  Honor those moments with attentiveness.

10. Reflect on the Eucharistic Prayer we hear at mass.  There are several to choose from.  Take home the Sunday missal and reflect on the words that bring us to a renewed relationship with Jesus through Eucharist.
