Clergy Thoughts: Today is the sixth Sunday of Easter. As we are in the advent of Pentecost, Jesus promises us the Holy Spirit, the Advocate in today’s liturgy.  Mother Church calls us to celebrate the Spirit of truth, which strengthens us in the proclamation of the good news.  However, the Lord gives a condition for receiving the Advocate: “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” Go into the whole world and preach the good news to all creation. It is also a command to love both God and our neighbour.  May we be witnesses of our faith in today's world, as we pray: Come, O Holy Spirit, and renew the face of the earth, alleluia. Amen! Fr Alex
