Pentecost
This Sunday, we will celebrate the feast of Pentecost. It's the birthday of the Church!
During Mass, we will hear how Jesus sent his Holy Spirit to the disciples. The disciples must have felt surprised to experience the mysterious gust of wind in the room that day. We believe that it was the Holy Spirit and it brought them the gifts of joy, love, patience, kindness, understanding, reverence and courage. With these gifts, the disciples were able to go out and spread Jesus' message. The Holy Spirit helps us to follow the right path by giving us God's goodness.
Jesus said, "Let your goodness shine out like a light in the darkness, so that through you, the love of our heavenly father will touch the lives of others." (Matthew 5:16)
