May 24- Pentecost Sunday: one of the most ancient feasts of the Church, celebrated early enough to be mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles (20:16) and St. Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians (16:8). When the Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles, they were granted the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Those gifts helped them to fulfill their mission to preach the Gospel to all nations. For us, too, those gifts are granted through our baptism infusing us with sanctifying grace and the life of God in our souls guiding us to live a Christian life. Prayer: Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth.

Para nós católicos, o Dia de Pentecostes celebra a descida do Espírito Santo sobre os apóstolos e seguidores de Cristo. Os discípulos estavam reunidos em oração com a presença da Virgem Maria e em um dado momento a Bíblia afirma que repousou sobre suas cabeças como se fossem línguas de fogo e esta presença do Espírito Santo deu-lhes uma nova guinada em suas vidas e sobretudo em seus ministérios. Para nós, esses dons são concedidos através de nosso batismo infundindo-nos com a graça santificante em nossas almas guiando-nos a viver uma vida cristã. Oração: Vinde Espírito Santo, enchei os corações dos vossos fiéis e acendei neles o fogo do Vosso Amor e enviai o Vosso Espírito e tudo será criado e renovareis a face da terra.
