A blissful month of Easter awaits. In the enlarged vision of our destiny this season affords us, we’re invited to “think bigger.”

From one to many and back to one. That's how the readings for Pentecost Sunday describe the work of the Holy Spirit.

Among the readings we don’t hear this weekend is the passage from Ecclesiastes 3 about the appointed time for everything.

To mark the Solemnity of Pentecost one parish keeps a fire burning at the door of the church through the night.

When I think of Pentecost I think of teaching my younger daughter to ride her bike. It was about this time of year many years ago that she was ready to try riding without training wheels.

My brothers and sisters, to prepare ourselves to celebrate the sacred mysteries, let us call to mind our sins.

Come, Holy Ghost . . . And Love light up our mortal frame, Till others catch the living flame.
