Saints and Scripture Sunday: Pentecost

By Dianna Kennedy 9 Comments

Saints and Scripture Sunday

John 20:21
Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you.
As the Father has sent me, so I send you.”

Pentecost Sunday is one of my favorite feast days in our Church. We celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and Mary. It’s considered the birthday of the Church, sending the Disciples out into the world to preach and spread the Gospel.

On this day that challenges us to use the gifts of the Holy Spirit, I was excited to read about the Ordination Mass in our Archdiocese this weekend. We’re thrilled about the increase in vocations, and adding 3 new priests to our Church.

How will you be answering the call to spread the Gospel this week? Are you using the gifts of the Holy Spirit?

      Isn’t it awesome!! I don’t know if we always ordain priests on Pentecost, or if the calendar just fell that way. It’s quite appropriate.

      I loved reading the stories of the men who were ordained.

      One is 37 – raised by a single mother, and started out in food service, bartender, restaurant manager, etc. He’ll be working with the Hispanic community here.

      One is 34, convert to the faith, from Dallas, former Army infantry officer. He’s also a twin! He’s the only black seminarian at Catholic U.

      The third is 45 – former Air Force guy, native of Louisville. He admits he took his time thinking through his calling to the priesthood.

      Super exciting!

    How cool that I just read this today. I just shared my conversion story over on my blog today, so I will link it up, if that’s okay.

      I love that you shared your story! Glad to see you here, Elisa! I’ll share mine at some point, when I can figure out how to condense it. It’s a long one!

    Increase in vocations — and that could be taken two ways, couldn’t it? I think how blogging may be a vocation, a calling, and a way to spread the gospel, the beautiful truths of God.

      Sylvia,

      You make a great point! You are exactly right –we’re called by Pope John Paul II to participate in the New Evangelization — to spread the Word!

      Thanks for stopping by!

    Three new servants of God… I pray the Lord be with them, encouraging and helping them to feel His love and peace.

      Crystal,

      I totally agree. I appreciate these men’s sacrifices – their road is not easy, but I pray that it is very fruitful and blessed, indeed!

      Thanks for coming by! I don’t think I’ve had an Australian visitor before!
