PENTECOST SUNDAY YEAR A (2026)

Send us Fan MailThis Sunday we celebrate the Solemnity of Pentecost - the day nearly 2000 years ago, when Jesus fulfilled His promise and sent the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, to the Apostles Our lady and all the other disciples to assist them continue His mission here on earth - His mission to save souls. The beautiful thing is that the Holy Spirit has not stopped working. The Spirit still brings peace where there is fear, unity where there is division, courage where there is weakness, and hope where we feel discouraged.The Holy Spirit continues to work in our hearts and lives today. It is the Holy Spirit who can unleash the dormant gifts within each and everyone of us. If we let Him, that Spirit can make us better spouses, better parents, better children better religious, clergy or single people. He can guide us into the vocation, work, or occupation that best suits us. He can inspire our ideas and creativity -- He can enhance our  relationship with God and one another. So perhaps our prayer this Pentecost is a simple one: Holy Spirit, come again. Open what we have locked. Strengthen what feels weak. Heal what is divided. Help us use the gifts You have given us, and help us not just to believe in Christ, but to live like people who have truly received His Spirit.And so we say:ALL: Come Holy spirt, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth.O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever rejoice in His consolation, Through the same Christ Our Lord, Amen.Support the show
