Theme: The Spirit at work
1st
Reading: Acts of
the Apostles, chapter 2: 1-11
The Holy Spirit descended on the disciples, and they spoke in
various tongues. The Pentecost event shows that the Christian message is meant
for all people.
2nd
Reading: 1
Corinthians, chapter 12: 3b - 7, 12 - 13.
St Paul explains to the congregation at Corinth, and to all
of us that the Holy Spirit manifests itself in several ways, and that through
the same Holy Spirit, we all are members in the one Body of Christ.
Gospel Reading: John, chapter 20: 19 - 23.
John’s account of the Pentecost is based on Jesus’ appearance
in the midst of his disciples, soon after the resurrection. He breathed the
Holy Spirit into them, and empowered them to continue his work. Christ invites
us this day, to receive his life-transforming Holy Spirit.
