Whose Party is it?

Every year we look forward to that day that honors the day we entered this world. That being our birthday. All of these special days are celebrated a little differently. For some it is a surprise party that was never expected. For others it is a day off of work or a celebratory dinner at your favorite restaurant. For others it may be an Ice Cream Cake from Dairy Queen. We all celebrate Birthdays in different days. The other thing we like about our Birthday is the gifts that we receive. Some opt for money over gifts. For others a gift card is great because it allows one to choose when, where, and how it will be used. Then there is the common card that just sends you a blessing and a greeting. Some people like to be totally surprised and others give you every detail down to the size and color of the item that they hope to get Today, we celebrate the Birthday of the catholic Church, this is the day that the Church received the gift of the Holy Spirit. This is the day that the Church was established and people began to reach out to lost around them The question that we asked as a Church is how are we doing as we celebrate this Birthday?. With each Birthday have we become more mature? Have we come to a place where we worry more about those outside the Church than we do those inside the Church? Have we really tapped into the Birthday Gift that we received on that day? That gift being that of the Holt Spirit. Are we exclusive only opening our doors to those that we send special invitations to or do we send an open invitation to all. Do we have a certain dress code to get into the party and do we require a gift? This week we will look at how we are doing as we celebrate another Birthday.

Consider this your invitation to attend the party.
