As we prepare for Pentecost this Sunday, we remember that day long ago when the disciples gathered together, sheltering in place out of fear of the world beyond. When the Holy Spirit blew into their lives giving them breath and courage, making it possible for the people gathered to understand each other, and to go forth proclaiming good news and baptizing thousands. The Holy Spirit gave birth to the Church on Pentecost through the faithful, and today, the Spirit continues to guide us forward.
During Holy Week and Easter we remember and reenact the events that lead up to the death and resurrection of Jesus and celebrate the central tenants of our faith. Holy Week culminates on Easter Sunday, which celebrates Jesus' resurrection from the dead.
