Pentecost Sunday
Acts 2, 1-11; 1 Corinthians 12:3b – 7; 12-13; John 20:19 – 23
Read: Jesus blows the Holy Spirit on the disciples. On Pentecost Sunday the Holy Spirit descends on the Apostles in the form of tongues of fire. In our baptism we too received the same Spirit which binds all of us with the Body of Christ.
Pray: Pray for an increase in you of the power of your faith. Pray that the Spirit will rekindle our passion to live with God and for God. Pray for the gift and fruits of the Holy Spirit.
Reflect: The Holy Spirit is the lifeblood of both the Church and of every Christian. It is He who animates us and gives us the gift of the qualities needed for the benefit of society, helps us that our conduct is that of brothers in Christ, and binds us a one body in Christ. The Holy Spirit instils unity and consent between all people.
Act: Go for a quiet walk in the countryside, and feel close to all creation, whilst you thank the Spirit.
