Emitte Spiritum Tuum.
"In the evening of the first day of the week, the doors were closed in the room where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews. Jesus came and stood among them. He said to them, ‘Peace be with you’, and showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were filled with joy when they saw the Lord, and he said to them again, ‘Peace be with you. ‘As the Father sent me, so am I sending you.’ After saying this he breathed on them and said: ‘Receive the Holy Spirit. For those whose sins you forgive, they are forgiven; for those whose sins you retain, they are retained.’" – John 20:19-23, which is the Gospel for today. My sermon for today's Solemnity of Pentecost can be read here. This mosaic roundel of the Holy Spirit sending the seven gifts is on the baldachino of the church of the Holy Comforter in Washington D.C.
