Today we complete the Redemption with the descent of the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity, the Holy Spirit, upon the disciples and the Blessed Virgin, in Jerusalem, in the upper room where Jesus had celebrated the Passover. It is 50 days after Easter. Our priest wears red vestments. The Gospel tells the well-loved story of the great sound and wind of the Spirit’s descent, and the tongues of fire which came to rest over each disciple. The Spirit fired their faith and zeal, and they went out to teach and baptize, as bidden by their Lord, all but one of the 12 apostles, unto death. We also end the Easter season today, and tomorrow return to Ordinary, or numbered, Time, during the weekdays.
