ENCOURAGING WORDS FOR THE WEEK

ome Holy Spirit, come! C

By CatholicOnline Happy birthday to the

Catholic Church! Happy

birthday to you, who are

the body of the Church!

We're all familiar with our

own birthdays, and we

celebrate them because

they mark the day of the

year in which we entered

into this life. But did you

know you have a second

birthday?

Because you are part of the

body of the Church,

Pentecost is the Church's

birthday, and yours as well. And like any

birthday, it's a cause for celebration.

The word Pentecost is Greek and it means

"50th day." Fifty days after Easter Sunday,

we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit

upon the Apostles and their followers, and

the beginning of their Earthly ministry to

make disciples of all nations.

Pentecost is also a Jewish holiday, which

the Jews use to celebrate the end of

Passover. Jews celebrate the gift of the law

to Moses at Mt. Sinai on this day. But we,

as Catholics celebrate the birth of our

Church.

At Pentecost, the Apostles and their

followers were gathered in a room. Jews

from all over the world were gathered

with Peter, the leader of the Apostles and

the Eleven. At this time, a great wind blew

and a flame appeared as a tongue of fire,

which split itself into many individual

flames above the heads of all those present.

The Holy Spirit came upon these people

and each began to speak in tongues.

Despite the fact many had no common

language, they were perfectly able to

understand one another.

Others who were not so blessed, accused

those speaking in tongues of being drunk,

but Peter arose and addressed the crowd,

explaining that it was only 9 o'clock, and

that this phenomenon was not

intoxication, but rather this was the work

of the Holy Spirit, prophesized in the

scripture.

Peter then called all those present to be

baptized and about three thousand people

were baptized that day.

These people were among the first

Catholics, and Peter is the first pope of the

Catholic Church.

The symbols of Pentecost are the flame,

wind, and the dove, which represents the

Holy Spirit. The color of Pentecost is red

and the priest wears red vestments on this

day. Parishioners are also invited to wear

red on this day. Red decorations as well as

celebrations are appropriate, similar to any

other birthday. Special prayers are often

said just for Pentecost.
