May 24, 2026 - Pentecost Sunday

from Blessed Sacrament Parish Community Homilies · host Fr. Rob Howe

In this weekend's homily, Fr. Rob uses a classic scene from the television show MASH*—Frank Burns holding his breath—to illustrate a powerful spiritual truth. While it is biologically impossible to stop ourselves from breathing forever, Fr. Rob suggests that we are equally dependent on a different kind of breath: the Holy Spirit. Reflecting on the Gospel account of Jesus breathing upon the apostles, Fr. Rob explains that the Spirit is the essential life-force that enables us to be generous, merciful, and compassionate. Just as we rarely notice our physical breathing until it becomes difficult, we may not always feel the Spirit’s presence in our daily lives, yet it remains the foundational breath that sustains our faith and our identity as a Church. This message serves as a beautiful reminder that the Holy Spirit is not just a historical event, but a constant, life-sustaining presence that allows the love of Christ to shine through us.

Prayer Time Heir Waves Prayer Time A podcast especially for our Prayer Time community NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in
