Pentecost is the birthday of the Church as the body of Christ

Pentecost is the Christian Church’s birthday. It is the third Great Feast of the Church. The Holy Spirit at Pentecost is poured out on all flesh. This Spirit is the breath of charity, the tongue of truth. It is the fire of compassion that heals human life.
During the 26 weeks that mark the Sundays in the liturgical year after the Day of Pentecost, we will seek to understand ourselves as a people of God who are born of compassion that loves all creation with a limitless hospitality and with boundless mercy. We seek to hear and to follow God’s higher callings to love Him whole-heartedly, and to love our neighbors as we love ourselves.
We hope to grow spiritually as a Pentecostal people, a holy community whose holiness is measured only by its compassionate hospitality for the world.
For the Spirit already has set us on fire with the wonder that He sent His Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that it might be saved through Him. This same Spirit kindles our lives with healing powers that make us whole and at one with the world.

The Lord said to his people:
I will pour out my spirit on all flesh;
….Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.' "
