Pentecost Sunday
Acts 2: 1-11; 1 Cor 12:3-7 & 12-13; Jn 20:19-23 (Year C)
"When Pentecost day came round, the Apostles had all met in one room, when suddenly they heard what sounded like a powerful wind from heaven, and something appeared to them that seemed like tongues of flame; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them.”
The New Testament account of Pentecost rightly stresses the signs and wonders that accompanied the promised gift of the Holy Spirit. A yet greater wonder was to be worked in the hearts of the Apostles who, in the strength of that same Holy Spirit, began to speak. No less wonderful was the transformation worked in the hearts of those who listened.
