As Pentecostal people, we are called to rejoice in the unity and peace made possible by God's own Spirit. We are called to have deep faith in Gerard Manley Hopkins' words, 'the Holy Ghost over the bent / World broods with warm breast and with ah! Bright wings’.
The above quote is part of a great article on Pentecost on the Catholic Bishop’s Website. To read it visit:
