Fr. Jose – Parish Priest

Dear family members and friends, Today is the Pentecost Sunday. It is the day when the promise of Jesus was fulfilled. The first reading is a description of what happened on the day of Pentecost. The Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles in the form of tongues of fire and they were filled with the Holy Spirit and they began to speak in tongues other than theirs and all the people who heard them speaking understood what they were speaking. That means there was an infilling of the Holy Spirit in the people also.

St. Paul reminds us that we all are baptised into one body by the one Spirit. Holy Spirit is the greatest gift of the resurrection of Jesus when Jesus breathed on the Apostles. On the Pentecost day there was the manifestation of being filled with the Holy Spirit. Let us pray for this infilling and power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
