On 3 June in the Maronite saints calendar we celebrate the feast of Mar Awtel who is an early Church Saint, particularly venerated among the Eastern Churches including the Maronite Church. Sources vary about the time in which he lived, but place him somewhere in the 3rd to the 6th Century. He was born in Asia Minor.
On the second Sunday of Pentecost, the Maronite Liturgy is devoted to the Holy Trinity. We sing in our opening hymn:
‘The fire of heaven, mistress of treasures, blazed in them
"And suddenly there came from the sky
This Sunday is Pentecost Sunday. After the Lords Ascension, the disciples waited for nine days for the coming of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit did not come only for them, the Spirit is here with us now. If we allow ourselves, we can recognise the Spirit in Creation and in others.
Saint Rita’s feast is celebrated on May 22 in the universal church.
