The Two Pentecosts

Readings for the Feast of Pentecost - Acts 2:1-11; John 20:19-23 This weekend, we celebrate one of the high feast days of the Church - the coming of the Spirit to the early Christian gathering. How did the Spirit come? Well, through a strong driving wind in an upper room, of course. We hear that in Acts. Or was it through the breath and forgiveness of Jesus that Easter Sunday night? Which one is true? Of course the answer is both. But as always, we don't merely celebrate an event that took place 2,000 years ago. We celebrate an event that continues to take place here and now within and among us. Special thanks to Bridget Zenk for her composition and performing of our intake and outtake music. Thank you for continuing to break open God's Word alongside me. I am humbled and honored. Have a question or comment? I can be reached at [email protected]. Happy celebration of the presence of the Spirit!
