Reflections – Pentecost Sunday
Pentecost Sunday is a commemoration and celebration of the
receiving of the Holy Spirit by the early church. John the Baptist
prophesied of the first Pentecost when Jesus would baptize with
the Holy Spirit and with fire (Matthew 3:11). Jesus confirmed this prophecy with the
promise of the Holy Spirit to the disciples inJohn 14:26. He showed Himself to these
men after His death on the cross and His resurrection, giving convincing proofs that
He was alive. Jesus told the disciples to wait in Jerusalem for the Father’s gift of the
Holy Spirit, from whom they would receive power to be His witnesses to the ends of
the earth (Acts 1:3-8). After Jesus’ ascension to heaven, the men returned to
Jerusalem and joined together in prayer in an upper room. On the Day of Pentecost,
just as promised, the sound of a violent wind filled the house and tongues of fire came
to rest on each of them and all were filled with the Holy Spirit. They were given the
power of communication, which Peter used to begin the ministry for which Jesus had
prepared him. After the coming of the Holy Spirit, the disciples did not stay in the
room basking in God’s glory but burst out to tell the world. This was the beginning of
the church as we know it.
Come Holy Spirit
Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of
your love.
V. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created.
R. And you shall renew the face of the earth.
Let us pray. O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of
the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever
enjoy His consolations. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen
