"Dear parishioners!
Happy Holy Pentecost!
Today we celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles, the fulfillment of Christ's promise. The New Testament Pentecost occurred on the day of the Old Testament Pentecost, when the giving of the Sinaitic law to the chosen people was celebrated. The law of the New Israel—the Church of Christ—is not inscribed on tablets of stone. Our Lawgiver and Comforter is the Holy Spirit Himself, the Treasure of every good thing and the Giver of Life. Now, instead of the stone tablets of the Old Law, our hearts must become the living tablets of God's will. "I will be their God, and they shall be My people," says the Lord (Jeremiah 32:38)."
