    It is clear from our Jewish roots and the early church that Pentecost is about a new spiritual experience. It is about a promise and it is about how we are changed when we receive this promise of the Holy Spirit. It is also about a harvest.

This movement by the Holy Spirit is a promise fulfilled by Jesus and a promise fulfilled by prophecy as St. Peter tells us from Joel Chapter 2 . Jesus ...read more

I’ll give you anything and everything you ask: pleasure, power, honour, wealth, freedom, even peace of mind and a ...read more

"Do you want to go to Heaven?" he asks and the man says, "Indeed I do, Father." "Then for goodness sake," commands the priest, "leave this pub right now." He then goes to ...read more
