Pentecost Sunday
This weekend we celebrate the feast of Pentecost and the coming of the Holy Spirit among the believers of the early Church. Saint Paul reminds us of the special power the Holy Spirit has bestowed upon us and how that power gives us the potential to live extraordinary lives of faith. Good stewards recognize this power and use their gifts, through God’s channel of grace, to transform their lives and the lives of others, and thus hasten God’s Kingdom. Good stewards know that it is through the Holy Spirit that they can proclaim: “Jesus is Lord.” Do we believe that Jesus is Our Lord? If so, how do we show it?

AfterEaster Sunday,Christmasis the second-greatest feast in the Christian liturgical calendar, butPentecost Sundayis not far behind. Coming 50 days after Easter and ten days after theAscension of Our Lord, Pentecost marks the descent of the Holy Spirit on the apostles. For that reason, it is often called the "the birthday of the Church."
On Pentecost Sunday, when the Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles, they were granted thegifts of the Holy Spirit. Those gifts helped them to fulfill their mission to preach the Gospel to all nations. For us, too, those gifts—granted when we are infused withsanctifying grace, the life of God in our souls—help us to live a Christian life.
