Pentecost Was Made for You

On Pentecost, Jesus established a Church and a mission for the apostles. But they're not just for the apostles. They're for all of us, too.

Having celebrated the Solemnity of Pentecost, the descent of the Holy Spirit to empower Jesus’ apostles to fulfill their divine mandate, we should continue rejoicing, because God makes biblically clear on this feast that he established the Church to restore his kingdom as a “catholic” or “universal,” worldwide blessing—not simply one confined to the nation of Israel.

How to Celebrate Pentecost Sunday

The Church is alive. We — you and me and all of us who dare to call Jesus “Lord” — are the living Body of Christ on earth.

We are the hands of Christ reaching out to comfort, to heal, to feed, to sacrifice for those in bondage. We are the feet of Christ — always on the move, always bearing the message of love and mercy and repentance, always walking beside the poor and the forgotten and the brokenhearted. We are the heart of Christ — overflowing with compassion and brimming with hope.
