Summary

Pentecost marks the beginning of the age of the Church, the time in which the Kingdom is inherited but not fully consummated. Today, we dive into the meaning and significance of Pentecost for our lives. Fr. Mike explains how the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost fulfills Christ’s Passover. On that glorious day, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit fully revealed themselves in the Trinity. We also learn how the Holy Spirit heals our wounded nature and empowers us to love as God loves through the various gifts of the Spirit. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 731-736.

This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

1:05.3	Christ yesterday. Today is the age of the church and following tomorrow as well. But we're starting with Pentecost because
1:12.4	we recognize here's what the Catechism notes. The Catexom notes that on the day of Pentecost,
1:16.6	this is paragraph 731. On the day of Pentecost, when the seven weeks of Easter had come to an end,
1:21.5	Christ's Passover is fulfilled in the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, which is remarkable because
1:26.9	732 says on that day,
1:29.3	the Holy Trinity is fully revealed. And since that day, the kingdom announced by Christ has been
