PENTECOST OF PEACE IN ASSISI
May 18 – 19
This year we will celebrate Pentecost in Assisi, land of Francis and Clare, the land from where we will raise one voice, to ask the Lord for peace in the world, especially in the Holy Land.
For the Catholic Charismatic Renewal and for all Christians, Pentecost is one of the most important feasts, since it is from this outpouring of the Holy Spirit that the life of the Church begins, the Apostles together with Mary on the day of Pentecost – that was coming to an end – experience the powerful outpouring of the Holy Spirit that changes them and takes them to evangelize with no longer fear.
In the tale of Pentecost we read:
“When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues[a] as the Spirit enabled them”.
(Acts 2:1-3)
