On the Day of Pentecost, the Apostles were energised with the power of the Holy Spirit. On this Pentecost Sunday, the Church promises to pour upon us the Holy Spirit so that we may become faithful witnesses to the world.

God gives us His Spirit to assist us, to empower us and to enable us to continue growing in the life of the Spirit. Today we are sanctified once again with the power of the Holy Spirit to confer rebirth into the life of God and to carry out the mission of the Church to the ends of the earth.

God has given us various Spiritual Gifts which in turn empower us to build the Church, the Body of Christ and to make ourselves effective ministers in the life of the Church. 

As we celebrate the birthday of the Church, let us set ourselves free from the poison of sin – turn the hatred into love, sorrow into joy, and doubt into hope. Let us truly desire to repent, to forgive, to be followers of Christ to live a holy life and to grow, glow and go in the Spirit. 

Ps. Do discover and rediscover the spiritual gifts that you have –  (references: Rom 12, 1 Cor 12, Eph 4, 1 Peter 4)

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your faithful and kindle in them the fire of Your love. Amen.
