"When the Feast of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Without warning there was a sound like a strong wind, gale force—no one could tell where it came from. It filled the whole building. Then, like a wildfire, the Holy Spirit spread through their ranks, and they started speaking in a number of different languages as the Spirit prompted them." - Acts 2:1-4 (MSG)

Pentecost literally means 50^th. It is a feast celebrated on the 50^th day after the Passover feast by the Jews, and it is a feast celebrated on the 50^th day after the feast of the Resurrection of Jesus by the Christians. On Christmas we celebrate the birthday of Christ in His Physical Body. Pentecost marks the birthday of the Church, of all those who have been reborn into His Mystical Body.

Life messages: 

1) We need to permit the Holy Spirit to direct our lives 

2) We need to cultivate the spirit of forgiveness. 

3) We need to observe Pentecost every day 

4) We need to be Spirit-filled Christians

Let us ask the Holy Spirit to rekindle the spirit of new life and enthusiasm, the fire of God's love. 

“Come Holy Spirit 
Make our ears to hear 
Make our eyes to see 
Make our mouths to speak 
Make our hearts to seek 
Make our hands to reach out 
And touch the world with your love.  AMEN.”
