Pentecost is the great feast of the sending.
The sending of the disciples to carry Jesus’ presence and message to the ends of the Earth.
It happens when one is transformed by receiving the power of the Holy Spirit.
This power turns ones’ life outward toward mission and is the essence of the Church.
We are the Church, the continuation of the mission.
Let us pray for openness to the guidance of the Spirit.
Readings: Pentecost Sunday | USCCB
A great transition has taken place.
The Spirit will now be our guide.
Jesus comes to be with us in a new way, through the Spirit.
Just imagine for a moment the incredible gift we have received.
The power and presence of God as a guide and help.
The power of creation and love itself is always with us.
Pray and ask again for guidance for a new life in the Spirit.

Jesus sends the Holy Spirit to be with us and to sustain us.
We receive the same gift given to the apostles and disciples through our baptism and confirmation.
Indeed, we are given the same power and support whenever we receive the Eucharist.
Pentecost is often called the birthday of the church and, in a way, it is our birthday too.
We have been given a new life in faith.
Jesus sends us to do His work. Are we ready to go?
