Bless me today my Lord....

Oh, to be His hand extended, Reaching out to the oppressed, Let me touch Him, Let me touch Jesus, So that others may know and be blessed.

Baptism in the Fullness of the Holy Spirit

With our 2014 Easter promises, I have been on a quest to meet more fully the grace, fruits, gifts, and joy of the Holy Spirit. I am so grateful that Pope Francis has the same passion... So as we search for our Lord's guidance and blessings during our walk in this year of faith, begin knowing the beauty of being Spirit filled! While not a theological statement the U.S. Bishops Ad Hoc Committee defines baptism in this way: As experienced in the Catholic Charismatic Renewal baptism in the Holy Spirit makes Jesus Christ known and loved as Lord and Savior, establishes or reestablishes an immediacy of relationship with all those persons on the Trinity, and through inner transformation affects the whole of the Christian’s life. There is new life and a new conscious awareness of God’s power and presence. It is a grace experience which touches every dimension of the Church’s life: worship, preaching, teaching, ministry, evangelism, prayer and spirituality, service and community. Because of this, it is our conviction that baptism in the Holy Spirit, understood as the reawakening in Christian experience of the presence and action of the Holy Spirit given in Christian initiation, and manifested in a broad range of charisms, including those closely associated with the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, is part of the normal Christian life.

Walk for Life: West Coast

 

Our Mission

To change the perceptions of a society that thinks abortion is an answer. Abortion does violence to women and to their children, both physically and emotionally. We deserve better than abortion.

What all life is Worth......

March for Life in Washington, DC

Save a Life for Lent

"Respect for the dignity of the human person demands a commitment to human rights across a broad spectrum…Yet abortion and euthanasia have become preeminent threats to human dignity because they directly attack life itself, the most fundamental human good and the condition for all others. They are committed against those who are weakest and most defenseless, those who are genuinely 'the poorest of the poor'"

(US Bishops, Living the Gospel of Life, 1998)

This Lenten season we have a wonderful opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of the unborn and in our community. This year instead of losing the lattes let’s stretch ourselves and make a real difference by truly living out our Catholic Faith.
Presently there is a need for a Church or a Parish to take on Tuesdays in the 40 Days for Life campaign here in Vancouver; some of us here at Sacred Heart tri parish community are trying to make this happen – and we need your help!
