Updated weekly (Sunday 24/05/2026):
We wait in the upper room for the gift Jesus promised, listening to the Law (Genesis and Exodus), the Prophets (Ezekiel ad |Hoel) and the Psalms. These make us ready for the gift of the Spirit. Our longing for the Spirit is our desire for the completion of the life God first breathed into Adam, which is shown to us in Jesus’ Resurrection.
In one sense, Pentecost brings to a close the season of Easter, but it is really just the beginning, since, as a result of the Holy Spirit’s coming upon the apostles, the early Christians had the courage to go out and proclaim the Good News of the Risen Lord. In the coming weeks of Ordinary Time, it is the message which will be central to all our celebrations.
