FAITH BOOK

PENTECOST -C- June 8, 2025

Acts 2: 1-11; Ps. 104; Romans 8: 8-17; Jn 14: 15-16, 23b-26 or Jn 20: 19-23

by Jude Siciliano, OP

Mini-reflections on the Sunday scripture readings designed for persons on the run. “Faith Book” is also brief enough to be posted in the Sunday parish bulletins people take home.

From today’s Acts of the Apostles reading:

And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind,

and it filled the entire house where they were.

Reflection:

Pentecost reminds us we never can be sure how, or in whom, the Spirit will work. The feast cautions us to keep ears and eyes open lest we miss what new life the Spirit is breathing into us. 

So, we ask ourselves:

• What blocks do I put up to resist the change the Spirit might want to bring about in my life?

• Have I ever been surprised by the Spirit?
