Sunday 24 May 2026 - Pentecost
“In the evening of the first day of the week, the doors were closed in the room where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews. Jesus came and stood among them. He said to them, ‘Peace be with you’, and showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were filled with joy when they saw the Lord, and he said to them again, ‘Peace be with you.
‘As the Father sent me,
so am I sending you.’
After saying this he breathed on them and said:
‘Receive the Holy Spirit.
For those whose sins you forgive,
they are forgiven;
for those whose sins you retain,
they are retained.’”
Today we celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit - the Spirit of peace, courage, wisdom, and new life. May our hearts be open to receive His presence and be renewed in faith, hope, and love.
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love.
