Pentecost

Today is the Feast of Pentecost, the Birthday of the Church, the Descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and Our Lady. The Holy Spirit is depicted as a dove, a symbol of pure love. The Beloved Bride of Love in the Song of Songs is depicted as a dove. The Marriage of God with His Beloved Bride, Our Blessed Mother, brought about the God-made-Man, Our Lord Jesus Christ by their passional love.  Love begets love hence, the passionate love of Our Lord for souls brought us His Bride, Holy Mother Church, on this beautiful day when the Holy Spirit came down upon the Apostles and Our Lady in forms of tongues of Fire.  He instilled within them the Fire of His Love, a burning love for God, a burning love and desire for souls.  He gave them Gifts to spread this burning love to all those around and to build His Church.  All this, I might add by Our Blessed Mother's Fiat.  Let it be done.
