and suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a mighty wind coming: and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them parted tongues, as it were of fire: and it sat upon every one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost: and they began to speak with divers tongues, according as the Holy Ghost gave them to speak.

Acts 2:2-4

The Feast of Pentecost marks the end of Eastertide for Catholics around the globe. In Rome, thousands of red rose petals are dropped from the oculus of the Pantheon upon a crowd gathered for Sunday Mass.

This Pentecost, let us renew our religious zeal and learn from the apostles and Christian throughout history, be filled with the Holy Spirit and proclaim the Gospel in our day to day lives.

Come Holy Spirit

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth.

O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations, Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.

Here the team in Church Candles NZ wishes you all a happy feast of Pentecost. May the Holy Spirit protects and blesses you always.
