The giving of the Spirit to the new people of God crowns the mighty acts of the Father in salvation history.
The Jewish feast of Pentecost called all devout Jews to Jerusalem to celebrate their birth as God’s chosen people, in the covenant Law given to Moses at Sinai (see Leviticus 23:15-21; Deuteronomy 16:9-11).

Psalm 47:2-3. 6-9
Hebrews 9:24-28; 10:19-23
Luke 24:46-53
In today’s first reading, St. Luke gives the surprising news that there is more of the story to be told.

Posted by Mike Aquilina on 05.02.13 |
“Athanasius was undoubtedly one of the most important and revered early Church Fathers.
