“The First Pentecost does not remain only limited in the moment but is an event that is renewed and renews itself again. Christ glorified at the right (hand) of the father, continues to realize his promise, sending the Holy Spirit to enliven the church who teaches and reminds us and makes us speak. The Holy Spirit is the interior teacher, guiding us along the path throughout the situations of life.”
– POPE FRANCIS
Since this year, I always here about Pentecost Sunday and the story of pentecost but never really took it to heart. Going to Neepawa for a Mission trip (2.5 hours away from Winnipeg, MB) and attending mass at St. Dominic’s Parish, I was really overwhelmed by how important the Holy Spirit is and should be in our lives.
He is the third person of the Trinity and gave birth to Jesus and the church. He is the one that strengthen and empowers us during those hard and difficult times. He is the one who lets us go beyond our human nature so that we can defeat evil.
He is one with God the Father and the Son.
Lord, fill us with your Holy Spirit so that He may dwell in our hearts and give us the strength and courage to go beyond what we are capable of doing. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
