5/20/18: Pentecost Sunday: What Confirmation is NOT
Today's feast of Pentecost reminds us of the power of the Holy Spirit to transform our lives and the world. We have received this same Spirit at our Baptism and Confirmation that the apostles and Mary received in that Upper Room 2000 years ago. We did not receive a lesser Spirit but the same Spirit, and the same Spirit of God can work miracles in our hearts as it worked miracles in the hearts of the Apostles, changing them from scared men to confident and bold proclaimers of the Gospel.

How often I forget about the gift of the Holy Spirit and to ask Him for His help in my life. This was a great reminder of His presence in me and a wonderful explanation of how we achieved this GIFT.
