May 20 2018 • Pentecost Sunday

Pentecost: The Birthday of our Church

Today is the Solemnity of Pentecost; the Birth-

day of the Church, the Day our Lord fulfills His

promise to send upon the whole Church His gi&

of the Holy Spirit. Pentecost has a number of

symbols a$ached to it, lets look at just two of them; wind and flame. In the

Acts of the Apostles we read, “And suddenly there came from the sky a noise

like a strong driving wind, and it filled the en"re house.” And in the Acts of

Apostles also we read, “And there appeared to them tongues as it were of fire,

which parted and it came to rest on each one of them.” When we celebrate the

birthday of someone we normally present a birthday cake with lit candles on it

for the birthday person to blow out. Flames and wind are always part of this

simply but loving family tradi#on.

Fire is a wonderful symbol of the work of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit is like a

fire in at least three ways: He brings God’s presence, passion, and purity. The

Holy Spirit is the presence of God as He indwells the heart of the believer. In the

Old Testament, God showed His presence to the Israelites by covering the

tabernacle with fire. This fiery presence provided light and guidance. In the New

Testament, God gives light and guidance to His adopted children by covering

the tabernacle of their bodies with the same fiery presence of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit creates the passion of God in our hearts. A&er the two disciples

traveling to Emmaus talk with the resurrected Jesus, they describe their hearts

as “burning within us”. A&er the apostles receive the Holy Spirit at Pentecost,

they have a passion which impels them to speak the word of God boldly.

Wind or breath is also a wonderful symbol of the work of the Holy Spirit. The

Holy Spirit breathes into our hearts and minds. This sacred breath of the Holy

Spirit directs, guides, comforts, and influences us as it imparts newness of life.

The song Breathe on me, Breath of God sums the workings of the Holy Spirit

under this symbol of wind or breath: Breathe on me, Breath of God, fill me with

life anew, that I may love the way you love, and do what you would do. Breathe

on me, Breath of God, un"l my heart is pure, un"l my will is one with yours, to

do and to endure. Breathe on me, Breath of God, so shall I never die, but live

with you the perfect life for all eternity.

On our birthdays we use our breath to blow out the flames so as to enjoy the

cake. On the birthday of the Church, our Lord sends out His Holy Breath, to

ignite the flames within the hearts of His disciples, so they may enjoy His life

dwelling within them. Happy Birthday to all the members of the Church!
