The Easter Season concluded with the celebration of the Solemnity of Pentecost. Now, we return to Ordinary Time in the Liturgical Calendar. We resume Ordinary Time with two major feasts of the Church: The Most Holy Trinity and The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi). Although the word “trinity” does not appear in Scripture, it is taught in Matthew 28:18-20 and 2 Corinthians 13:14 (and many other biblical passages). The concept of the trinity can never be completely understood or rationalized, but it is clearly taught in Scripture. Understanding of all scriptural doctrine is by faith which comes through the work of the Holy Spirit; therefore, it is appropriate that this mystery is celebrated the first Sunday after Pentecost, when the outpouring of the Holy Spirit first occurred.

The Apostles had to wait until the first Pentecost to receive the Holy Spirit; but were blessed with the Holy Spirit when we were baptized. The Holy Spirit is within each one of us. Moreover, together we are united in the Spirit, who moves among us, here in this building as well as around the world. As we celebrate Pentecost, let us be aware of the movement of the Spirit in our lives.
