Today is Pentecost Sunday, which takes place 50 days after Easter Sunday. At Pentecost we celebrate how the disciples and other early Christians received the Holy Spirit.
Come, Holy Spirit,
Fill the hearts of your faithful
and enkindle in them the fire of your love.
Send forth your Spirit,
and they shall be created.
And you will renew the face of the earth.
