New Evangelization Corner Dear Friends,
The Feast of Pentecost is finally here!
Throughout the Easter Season we heard about the promise of the
Advocate, and in last Sunday’s readings for Feast of the Ascension,
Jesus tells his disciples to wait for the promise of the Father.
After much waiting and preparation, the disciples receive a gift
bigger than they could have ever possibly imagined. Namely, the
gift of God's love poured into their hearts through the Holy
Spirit.
In today’s readings and throughout the whole book of Acts, we
see the outward effects of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. But
what happened interiorly to the little rag tag group of disciples
to cause such a transformation?
The Holy Spirit is a revelation of the love of the Father. This
means that at Pentecost, the disciples had an overwhelming
experience of God’s love because God’s love was poured into their
hearts! Their stony hearts were shattered into hearts of flesh
capable of receiving God’s love and giving God’s love. With the
outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the early church spread like
wildfire! God’s love, life, and power had been poured out upon the
disciples, and they couldn’t resist spreading the Gospel.
God’s love has been poured into our hearts, too! Do you know the
Love of God? Do you cherish the great gift of the Holy Spirit that
was given to you at Baptism and strengthened in confirmation? The
same spirit that anointed Jesus rests upon us and urges us to
proclaim the mighty deeds of God.
As we celebrate today’s great feast, let’s ask for a deeper
out-pouring of the Holy Spirit so that we, too can know the Love of
God and in turn proclaim that love to all the ends of the earth.

How long does it take change to be adopted by all in our Church?
Which group are you in? Innovators– 6 months You are part of the
2.5% who are eager and ready to try out new ideas. Early
Adopters-10 months This group is 13.5% of the parish and they are
the “public relations” members. Other members will ask them, “What
do you think of this new concept?” Early Majority-14 months If you
are in this group you are “not the last to lay the old aside, nor
the first by which the new is tried.” 34% wait until they are sure
the idea will succeed. Late Majority-26 months You are a part of
the ‘skeptics.” 34% will not adopt a new concept until most others
have done so. They may appeal to hierarchy to step in and stop a
new “unapproved proposal. The Laggards-56 months This is the
traditional 16% who are last to adopt change. They tend to seek
others who agree and are usually suspicious of innovators. Most
Important fact Each of these groups accept change when they are
able to observe its benefits in the lives of others first and
afterwards see how it will also be a benefit to their own.
Eucharistic Miracles Display St. Anthony Parish Center at 2410
1st Street N., St. Cloud MN will have pictures and stories on
