On this Pentecost Sunday, we rejoice in the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles and the birth of the Church. It is a day of renewal, a reminder of the fire of faith that unites us as one body in Christ.

As we reflect on the Spirit’s presence in our lives, may we open our hearts to His guidance – bringing peace where there is conflict, love where there is division, and strength where there is uncertainty. Just as the apostles were emboldened to proclaim the Good News to all nations, may we, too, step forward in faith, sharing God’s grace and mercy with the world.

Let us pray for wisdom, courage, and a deepened sense of mission, trusting that the Spirit will lead us in truth and love. May this Pentecost ignite our souls with renewed passion for Christ and His Church, and may we carry its light into the days ahead.

Come, Holy Spirit, fill our hearts with Your presence!

Blessings and peace to you all.
