What the archdiocese's publicity department should be publicizing instead, is Catholic images and ideas. Let the world partake of their siestas; however, as Catholics we must be awake and active with the grace of the Holy Spirit inspiring us to build the Kingdom of God.

  Personal reflection: Besides the obvious point that the announcement exudes secularism and not spirituality: What is a five color rainbow doing on a poster next to a picture of a Catholic priest? The perverted rainbow of pride culture has six colors. Catholic365 - The Rainbow Covenant By Dr. John Jennings “The origins of the Rainbow as a symbol is firmly rooted in the Catholic religion. There are seven colours in the Christian rainbow.  On a basic level Six of the colours stand for the Six days of Creation and the Seventh stands for God’s Day of rest.  Each colour has a different meaning.  Red – Represents the blood of Christ, sacrifice, and redemption.
