Pentecost
On May 23, the Sunday of Pentecost is celebrated at all church services at the Oratory. On this special occasion, which closes the cycle of Pascal time, Christians celebrate the gift that God has made of the Holy Spirit to all mankind. Through the latter, it allows communication between all men, regardless of their nationality or language, so that His universal word can radiate throughout the world.
“When Pentecost day came round, they had all met together, when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a violent wind which filled the entire house in which they were sitting; and there appeared to them tongues as of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves.”
