Father Anton's Weekly Column

Pentecost Sunday - Year A

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Happy Pentecost Sunday! This weekend we celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit descending on the Apostles in the upper room. This is a reminder to us that the gift of the Spirit has been given to us as followers of Jesus. Both in baptism and confirmation we recognise his special arrival into our lives. It is interesting too that our church has a special recognition of the presence of the Holy Spirit, with the gift and fruits of the Holy Spirit. The stain glass windows remind us of the virtues we need to practise I our lives strengthened by the presence of him within us.
