Saint Anthony’s Shrine
Arch Street is offering a training program for people
to be certified by Cardinal Stritch University as a
Spiritual Director. The program will begin
in September and information can be obtained at:
[email protected] or 781-704-1010.
What does the word “Pentecost” mean?
The English word “Pentecost” is a transliteration of
the Greek word pentekostos, which means “fifty.” It
comes from the ancient Christian expression pentekoste
hemera, which means “fiftieth day.”
What actually happened on that day
of Pentecost?
This event is recorded in the New Testament book
known as The Acts of the Apostles. Chapter 2 begins,
“And when the day of Pentecost had come, [the first
followers of Jesus] were all together in one place” (2:1).
All of a sudden, a sound came from heaven, like a
strong wind, filling the house where the people had
gathered. Something like tongues of fire rested on their
heads. “And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and
began to speak in other languages as the Spirit gave
them the ability to speak” (2:4).
The Presence and Power of the Spirit
The birthday of the Church! After receiving the Holy
Spirit the apostles spoke of the “mighty deeds of God.”
Each of us has experienced mighty deeds: the birth of
a child, passing a difficult test, getting a job, attending
a peaceful, happy death – these can be mighty deeds
of God in a person’s life. Do you have the courage to
speak of this to others? The Holy Spirit gives each of
us special Gifts, including courage and wonder in the
Lord. Unwrap the gifts, put them to good use, and
renew the face of the earth.
