“Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them,“Receive the holy Spirit." (John 20: 21 - 22 NABRE).
Today is the Solemnity of Pentecost, the Birthday of Mother Church. Happy Birthday dear Mother, ancient and ever young. Mother of billions of children but yet a virgin.
"O God, who by the mystery of today’s great feast sanctify your whole Church in every people and nation, pour out, we pray, the gifts of the Holy Spirit across the face of the earth and, with the divine grace that was at work when the Gospel was first proclaimed, fill now once more the hearts of believers.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever." (Collect on the Feast of Pentecost).
Happy Pentecost dear friends.
