Pentecost Sunday
Receive
the Holy Spirit
“As the Father
sent me, so I am sending you.”
As we celebrate Pentecost, it is important
to remember what it is about. The
Holy Spirit is given to us, not as
a possession, but as a power. And
this power is one that can transform
the world. We are given the power
of love, which is invested in a special
way in the various important relationships
of our lives. That power of God is
there in the sacrament of marriage,
calling couples to love for the sake
of the world. The power of love is
in our families, making our homes
the Domestic Church to the glory of
God. And it is this power of God’s
Spirit that is at the heart of every
parish. All we have to do is practise
that power and great things will happen
all around us. There can be no doubt
that great things need to be made
happen in our world today. Receive
the Holy Spirit.
Fr. Johnny Doherty, C.Ss.R.
