Dear Parents,
This Sunday we celebrate the feast of Pentecost. This is a very special time when the disciples and other Christians received the Holy Spirit.
The reading comes from St John’s Gospel.
Jesus said to his disciples:
‘When the Advocate comes,
whom I shall send to you from the Father,
the Spirit of truth who issues from the Father,
he will be my witness.
And you too will be witnesses,
because you have been with me from the outset.
Pentecost occurred 50 days after Easter Sunday. Jesus had already gone back to Heaven so the disciples and new believers of Jesus were waiting to receive the Holy Spirit because that’s what Jesus told them would happen. Plus, since Jesus wasn’t with them anymore the Holy Spirit would help bring them closer to God.
