Gospel in Focus
May 14, 2023 Jesus never planned to leave us alone; He sends His Holy Spirit to make us holy... “I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.” —John 14:18
Discussion Questions
Which commandment is hardest for you to follow?
Why do you think the world rejects the Holy Spirit?
Share a time when you felt abandoned by God. What happened?
So that you may prepare ahead of time, we will begin putting the Mass Guide for the following Sunday in the bulletin. Because the eNews comes out earlier, we will continue to put the upcoming Sunday in the eNews. Thank you!
