"When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
they were all in one place together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And suddenly there came from the sky</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a noise like a strong driving wind,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and it filled the entire house in which they were.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which parted and came to rest on each one of them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and began to speak in different tongues,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim" (<a href="http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/bible/acts/2:1" target="_blank">Acts 2:1-4</a>).</div>

"We hold on to things outside of us instead of concentrating on what is within that keep us noisy and agitated. We run from experience to experience like children...and wonder how serenity has eluded us... Dwelling on inessentials and, worse, filling the minds of others with them distract from the great theme of our lives. We must learn to distinguish between what is real and what is not" (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0824525949?ie=UTF8&tag=mentheal365-20&linkCode=shr&camp=213733&creative=393185&creativeASIN=0824525949&qid=1356503334&sr=8-1&keywords=The+Rule+of+Benedict">J.

"As those first responsible for the education of their children, parents have the right to choose a school for them which corresponds to their own convictions. This right is fundamental. As far as possible parents have the duty of choosing schools that will best help them in their task as Christian educators.

<br />
"Beloved:<br />
Clothe yourselves with humility<br />
in your dealings with one another, for:<br />
<br />
God opposes the proud<br />
but bestows favor on the humble.<br />
<br />
So humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God,<br />
that he may exalt you in due time.<br />
Cast all your worries upon him because he cares for you.<br />
<br />
Be sober and vigilant.<br />
Your opponent the Devil is prowling around like a roaring lion<br />
looking for someone to devour.<br />
Resist him, steadfast in faith,<br />
knowing that your brothers and sisters throughout the world<br />
undergo the same sufferings.<br />
<br />
The God of all grace<br />
who called you to his eternal glory through Christ Jesus<br />
will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you<br />
after you have suffered a little.<br />
To him be dominion forever. Amen."<br />
