Pentecost Sunday

This Sunday wear red--the color of those enflamed by the love of the Holy Spirit!

A little meditation on the Holy Spirit for you from St. Cyril of Jerusalem:

"The Spirit comes gently and makes himself known by his fragrance. He is not felt as a burden, for he is light…. Rays of light and knowledge stream before him as he approaches. The Spirit comes with a tenderness of a true friend and protector―to save, to heal, to teach, to counsel, to strengthen, to console. The Spirit comes to enlighten [our] mind...and through [us], the minds of others….

As light strikes the eyes of [one] who comes out of darkness into the sunshine and enables him to see clearly things he could not discern before, so light [of the Spirit] floods [our souls] and enables [us] to see clearly things....beyond the range of human vision, things hitherto undreamed of."
