PENTECOST 2021
"And there appeared to them tongues as of fire,
distributed and resting on each one of them.
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit."
(Acts 2:3-4)
Pentecost is the climax of the faith year and yet somehow it can feel under-celebrated. What could be more important than the gift and the call to bring the Good News to the whole world?
