Pentecost 2012 at Balay sa Nazaret

Alleluia!!  We thank the Lord for being part of His Church - the Church of the Holy Spirit, of Jesus and of God the Father.  
This has been our experience of Pentecost 2012 at Balay sa Nazaret.

All the leaders of the Holy Childhood Association in San Carlos Borromeo Parish were invited to celebrate Pentecost starting with a Vigil. 31 of us arrived on time, excited to meet each other and to restart our mission.

When we received the instruction for our Pentecost celebration here, we were happy to know that we were to have a T-shirt as a remembrance of Pentecost, and to participate in the Mass the day vigil by singing a nice song: WE ARE ONE.  It is in singing that we feel we are one in the mission of proclaiming the Kingdom of God.

Together we prepared the Vigil; together we printed the T-shirts.

 

We spent time together sharing our feelings, plans and worries.  We prayed with the Bible, with symbols and with songs.

Pentecost has become our special feast as Holy Childhood Missionaries upon discovering that Pentecost is the beginning of the Mission of the Church, the beginning of our challenge as followers of Jesus.  That was why we started the day of Pentecost early in the morning planning our activities.  And we have so many reasons to prepare our mission with enthusiasm this year because it is the Year of Mission in the Philippines, as well as the year of the Silver Jubilee of our Diocese of San Carlos!

Prayer:

We are here Lord.  We want to collaborate with you in your plan of salvation, your plan of love for our little ones in the different chapels. Thank you, Lord, for counting on us.  Amen.
