Pentecost Sunday – The church celebrates the gift of the Holy Spirit and the apostles spreading Jesus’ message, thus establishing the beginning of the Church. There is a sense of unity this day as we celebrate our identity as members of the Body of Christ. Unity is supported by peace and forgiveness, both of which the Holy Spirit provided for the apostles. Jesus said, “Peace be with you”, in other words, “the Holy Spirit will overcome your fears so that you may witness the Good News.” Jesus also gave the apostles the power to forgive. The power to absolve sins is an essential part of the work towards unity. Happy Birthday Church! (Gutierrez, Omar Unity in the Spirit: Pentecost and the Church. NCRegister. May 20, 2018) As you celebrate the birth of the Church and the unity of its members, reflect on how you are called to use your gifts as a member of the Body of Christ.
