PENTECOST SUNDAY

My brothers and sisters in Christ,

The great solemnity of Pentecost has arrived. Fifty days

after Jesus rose from the dead and forty days after he as-

cended to the heights of heaven, the Consoler, the Para-

clete, the Breath of Almighty God, the Power of the Most

High, the Spirit of burning, judgment, revelation, holiness,

truth, fear of the Lord, knowledge, understanding, might,

counsel, wisdom, adoption, prophecy, grace and life came

to the disciples in the upper room of Jerusalem. He fulfilled

the promise Jesus made to the disciples. We have been

living in the age of the Spirit ever since. The Holy Spirit is

the Lord the giver of the Life who proceeds from the Father

and the Son. With the Father and Son, He is worshipped

and glorified. Until Christ comes again, God will continue to

give us His very self through the Holy Spirit, sanctifying and

feeding us, changing bread and wine into the Body and

Blood of Christ. May the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, first

given to you at your baptism, fill you with His grace so that,

to paraphrase St. Paul, it is no longer you who live, but

Christ who lives in and through you.

– Father Michael
