2 Wednesday‘s Word PENTECOST
“The extraordinary outpouring of Pentecost is an event that continues.
The Holy Spirit transforms us and wants to transform the world.” Pope Francis
Who did Jesus say the Father would send? This coming Sunday the Church celebrates
Pentecost. This is the feast of the gift of the Holy Spirit to the Church – a gift which we
now receive at Baptism, Confirmation and at Mass. Ask your child what they have learnt at
school about Pentecost. It may help your child if you tell them something that you know
about Pentecost. The word ‘Pentecost’ means ‘fiftieth day’. On this day (fifty days after
Easter) the apostles were filled with the Holy Spirit.
“The Holy Spirit helps us to view others with fresh eyes, seeing them as
brothers and sisters in Jesus, to be respected and loved.” Pope Francis
Pentecost is not just a historical event. The Holy Spirit is alive and active today. Each of
you choose one of the following qualities that you would like to ask the Holy Spirit for
today: Courage, Joy, Peace, Patience, Gentleness, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness or
Self-Control. Why did you choose that quality? In what ways could growing in that quality
help you, or help other people at home, at school, or in the community? Come and learn
more about the great celebration of Pentecost in Church this Sunday, and be open to
receiving the many priceless gifts which the Holy Spirit brings. All are warmly invited.
