Dear family members and friends, We start our prayers: In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. The greeting is: The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Again the blessing is: May Almighty God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit bless you. Besides Sacraments like Baptism are administered in the name of the Trinity.

All these remind us about the Holy Trinity, the Triune God. Doctrine of the Holy Trinity is the foundational Christian doctrine. Today’s Gospel reminds us about the love of God to send His only Son so that all those who believe in Him shall have eternal life. Let the unity of the Triune God be an inspiration for us to closely stick to our faith in the Triune God. Amen

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.
