When the day of Pentecost came,
they were all together in one place.
Suddenly a sound
like the blowing of a violent wind
came from heaven
and filled the whole house
where they were sitting.
They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire
that separated and came to rest on each of them.
All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit
and began to speak in other tongues
as the Spirit enabled them.
Then Peter stood up with the Eleven,
raised his voice and addressed the crowd:
"Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem,
let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say.
These men are not drunk, as you suppose.
It's only nine in the morning!
No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 "`In the last days, God says,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions,
your old men will dream dreams.
Even on my servants,
both men and women,
will pour out my Spirit in those days,
and they will prophesy.
COME HOLY SPIRIT AMEN!
It’s Pentecost,
the day God gives us the wind of the Spirit
in our sails
and also the fire of the Spirit
in our hearts-
the fire of divine presence.
For on Pentecost,
amidst wind and tumbling tongues of fire,
the Church was born
and continues regularly to be reborn.
So Happy Birthday,
Dear Church!
More Love, More Power
