Outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the World
June 8, 2025, Eighth Sunday after Easter – Pentecost Sunday Outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the World Today, the Church celebrates her birthday. God instituted three major feasts through Moses, namely, Passover (Pesach), Pentecost (Shavuot), and the Feast of Booths (Suukot) as prefiguration of what is to be accomplished by Jesus Christ. Pentecost (Shavuot) was the second major feast. It was celebrated on the 50th day after Passover. Pentecost was called "the feast of the seven weeks or the harvest festival". It had two significances: historically, it reminded us of God giving the Ten Commandments to Moses. Agriculturally, they celebrated harvest festival and waved two loaves of bread before God and offered sacrifices as a sign of gratitude for the bountiful harvest. The loaves of bread were made from the first fruits of the harvest. For us Christians, the feast of Pentecost is the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. It is the birthday of the Church, the new Israel. On this day, God fulfilled the promises he had made to the apostles. He sent the Holy Spirit upon them and inaugurated the mission of the Church. On this day, fearful, weak, and discouraged disciples were filled by the power, wisdom, and gifts of the Holy Spirit. On this day, they came down from the upper room and began to proclaim to all nations that, Christ truly is the Son of God, the Messiah, and the redeemer of mankind. On this holy day, all people on earth understood the Galileans’ talk in their own language. On this day, the disciples did a huge spiritual harvest more than 3000 men believed in Christ and received baptism. On this day, the mystery of the Most Holy Trinity is fully revealed to the world, because Jesus fulfilled the promise of the Father at the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. On this day, God unites all nations on earth as a single community of believers who speak the “one language of faith”. Therefore, let us pray for unity and peace in the world, and ask the Lord to renew our hearts, homes, parish family, and our world with the power of the Holy Spirit. — Fr. Jesu
