11th May 2008 PENTECOST SUNDAY Year A
Live the Word
Today, Pentecost Sunday, celebrates the day when the Church
was born. The Spirit, coming down
on the apostles, brings them power and life. Wind and flame are the signs that announce the coming of the Spirit. Inspired and aflame with zeal, the
apostles begin the preaching of the Gospel. The Spirit cuts across national divisions, brings unity to
“every nation under heaven”, and overcomes the power of sin with the grace
of forgiveness. The Church begins
its work with the greeting of Christ, “Peace be with you.”
