Pentecost, May 24, 2026

Acts 2:  And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim.
1 Corinthians 12:  No one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit. There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit; there are different forms of service but the same Lord; there are different workings but the same God who produces all of them in everyone.
John 20:  Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.

No one fears a person who is kind. Everyone feels safe with the person who is
kind. Kindness makes friends of us all. “Kindness,” Mark Twain says, “is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.”
The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister
