The mystery of Pentecost is so significant that Holy Mother Church places it on the same plane as the paschal solemnity itself. Easter is the redemption of man by the victory of Christ over sin and Satan. Pentecost is the Holy Ghost taking possession of man redeemed. The Ascension of Christ prepares the mission of the Holy Ghost to our earth. This mission could not take place until Jesus had been glorified.
The coming of the Holy Ghost is not just an event that affects mankind as a whole. Each individual is invited to receive this same visit. This visit renews the face of the earth. God wants to be close to all of us. Christ asks only that we love Him and keep His Word. If we do this, He promises us that His Father will love us and take up His abode in our soul!
We have a great opportunity once again to be filled with the Holy Ghost! Come Holy Ghost! Let us make our prayer to God that we will truly be transformed by the power of the Holy Ghost.
Sincerely in Christ,
Rev. Jeffery A. Fasching
