Was Pentecost a One-Day Event?

The Holy Spirit is still around!
Pentecost Sunday (Year A)

We can make the mistake of thinking that the Pentecost experience was strictly for that one day. The Pentecost experience is for every day. It is to be an ongoing reality within the Church.

The Holy Spirit that blew into the upper room is still around. He’s still able to do all kinds of things.

The Church needs the Holy Spirit.

What about you? What do you think you need more than anything else in the world? Try the Holy Spirit!

Ask for the Holy Spirit. When we invite the Holy Spirit in, he moves. When you have the Holy Spirit you have everything that you need. We need to invite the Holy Spirit into our own personal space, into our parishes, etc.

Invite the Holy Spirit to move in and take over.


*This homily was originally given at St. Mary’s Parish in Ottawa, ON on May 26, 1996.
