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 ascended to the heights of heaven, the Consoler, the Paraclete, 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.
