My Beloved Ones,
This coming Sunday, we are blessed to celebrate the Feast of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit comes to rest upon the Disciples, and consequently upon the entire Church. Our Lord Himself told His Disciples, “I will not leave you desolate… the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.” (John 14:18; 26)
From those days, Disciples, and the many women who followed Jesus throughout His Ministry, were gathered together on Mount Zion in a state of constant prayer. The time was about nine in the morning during the Jewish feast of Pentecost (that is, 50 days after the end of Passover) when the pilgrims were going to the Temple to pray, or to make offerings. The Book of Acts tells us that “Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting” (Acts 2:2)
