As the Father has sent me, so I send you...Receive the Holy Spirit.” Or John 15:26-27; 16:12-15 The Holy Spirit, our Advocate, is the “Spirit of truth” who will guide us to all truth.

A virtue, as opposed to a vice, is a habitual and firm disposition (quality or condition), to do good. Virtues can be human or theological. The four principal (cardinal) virtues are prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance. The theological virtues are faith, hope, and charity. Are you cultivating virtue in your life? Is there a particular vice that you struggle with? “The goal of a virtuous life is to become like God.” (St. Gregory of Nyssa). Archstl.org/dynamic PARISH NEWS ASK A PRIEST FORUM On Thursday, May 21st at 7:00 p.m. our parish will host an ASK A PRIEST FORUM, with our pastor, Fr. Jim Byrnes. There is a question box with paper and pen located in the vestibule for you to write your questions. You also will be able to ask your questions from the floor as time permits. Come hear some of the tough questions about our Catholic Faith answered in a succinct, direct manner. Example of questions: Why do I have to confess my sins to a priest? Can’t I just go directly to God? Why is the Church so strict about divorce and remarriage? Why am I required to attend Sunday Mass, while other denominations don’t require it? At one time it was a mortal sin to eat meat on Friday, now it’s not. Why? PLANT CONTAINERS for HOMECOMING If you have spare containers from plants you have added to your garden, please call Mary Struckel at 963-9385. They will be used for perennial plants for the upcoming homecoming in October. No need to wash them. Mary will be happy to pick them up if necessary.
