Pentecost (May 31, 2020)


“Receive the Holy Spirit”
John 20: 19-23

The disciples hid behind locked doors.  They were afraid. 

Jesus came to them and restored peace in them.  He then breathed on them and gave them the Holy Spirit.

We have been locking ourselves away from others.  We have been anxious, worried and afraid.

The same Jesus is with us with His peace.  He gives us the Holy Spirit just as He did for those disciples.

We also know that Mary, the Mother of Jesus was with those first disciples (Acts 1:14).  As we end this Month of Mary, let us ask Mary to help us know that she remains with us in our times of needs.
