The disciples received manifestations of the holy spirit. Pentecost as Easter has a Jewish background. Jews were celebrating Moses coming down with the ten commandments. The law of charity and of love written in our hearts by the holy spirit happened at Pentecost. Advocate is a word we hear today. Paraclete in Greek, meaning more as advisor or helper. Jesus is the first paraclete, holy spirit is the consistent paraclete given to us to guide us. The holy spirit is inside us. God is a friend and comforter. The catholic church is unique because of the tabernacle. We are the table of the holy spirit bringing God to us. We are invited to keep well the holy spirit. We keep the table pure and clear through confession. We ask the holy spirit to be poured upon us at Pentecost, we pray, amen.
