Pentcost (EN)

Today we are invited to meditate on the descent of the Holy Spirit upon Our Lady and the Apostles, gathered in the cenacle. The feast of Pentecost, the day of the birth of our Church.

"They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages"

Our Lady was there, protagonist of the first community, of all the friends of Jesus who dropped their fear and were filled with the fervor of the Holy Spirit. The Mother of Jesus is in the midst of the community of disciples gathered in prayer: she is a living memory of the Son and a living invocation of the Holy Spirit. She is the Mother of the Church.

In that small seed of the Church, the Mother of the Redeemer remains, cares and prays. With her peace, with her smile, with her maternity, she accompanies the joy of the young Spouse, the Church of Jesus.

We ask today with the words of our beloved Pope Francis: "Mary, Mother of the Church, help us to give ourselves fully to Jesus, to believe in his love, especially in times of tribulation and cross, when our faith is called to mature."
