| Pentecost
Sunday
| 
Pentecost saw the
birth of a new community, the new
People of God. Today then is the birthday
of the Church. This is the day the
apostles left the upper room, where
they had been hiding for fear of the
Jews, and went out fearlessly to preach
the Gospel. They could not have done
this without "power from on high",
that is, the Holy Spirit.
Come
Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your
faithful,
And kindle in them the power of your
love.
Send forth your Spirit and they shall
be created,
And they shall renew the face of the
earth.
