As I attended the Sunday Mass for May 24, 2015. The homily of the priest struck me. It was one of those that I have never heard of or even thought of before. He talked about the Pentecost. As Catholics, we hear about this so many times. But one of the points that he brought out is this. “Although, other religions, Islam, Buddhism etc. also have similar experiences where they come before their god in prayer and they experience a revelation, there is a difference between how they experience this revelation and how we experience the Holy Spirit.”
The difference between them and us Christians is that, they experience this through individual prayer whereas God revealed Himself to us during Pentecost at a time, where all of His people where gathered in a group.” The priest called this “a meeting”. Often in our lives we have so many meetings. But we should aim for a meeting with God. Like during mass where all of us are gathered to meet the Lord. This sense of community is where we can truly feel His Holy Spirit.
