“The greatest male Saint who ever lived was not a deacon, not a priest, not a bishop, not a pope, not a hermit, not a monk. He was a husband, father, and a worker.”
- St. Josemaria Escriva
St. Joseph, please pray for all men on this Father's Day! #FathersDay
On the Feast of Pentecost, Christians commemorate the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles, gathered around the Mother of the Lord (Acts of the Apostles chapter 2). The feast is celebrated on the 50th and final day of the Easter season.
The eleven remaining Apostles returned to Jerusalem after the Ascension of Jesus into Heaven. Acts 1:14 says, “All these with one accord devoted themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.��� During this time, the Apostles chose a replacement for Judas Iscariot. They cast lots between two men, and the lot fell on Matthias.
After nine days of prayer, the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples. They heard a sound like a “mighty wind,” and “tongues as of fire” were resting on their heads.
Going out, Peter spoke to the crowd that had gathered. Even though, just a few weeks earlier, he had denied Christ three times, Peter courageously proclaimed the Gospel. That day, three thousand people believed in Christ and were received into His Church.

The Holy Spirit does not come empty-handed. He brings gifts that strengthen, enlighten and transform the Christian life. 🕊️
The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit are not abstract ideas, but graces that help us become more docile to God’s will and more faithful witnesses of the Gospel.
The 7 Gifts of the Holy Spirit:
1️⃣ Wisdom
Helps us see life through God’s eyes and value what leads us to Him.
2️⃣ Understanding
Helps us grasp the truths of the faith more deeply and allow God’s Word to enter our hearts.
3️⃣ Counsel
Guides us in our choices and helps us distinguish good from evil, especially in difficult moments.
4️⃣ Fortitude
Gives us courage, perseverance and strength to remain faithful in trials.
5️⃣ Knowledge
Helps us recognize God’s presence in creation, in our lives and in His plan for us.
6️⃣ Piety
Opens our hearts to love God as Father and to live with charity toward others.
7️⃣ Fear of the Lord
Is not terror, but reverence, trust and the desire not to turn away from God.
When we open our hearts to these gifts, the Holy Spirit renews us from within and helps us live as true disciples of Christ.
Come, Holy Spirit.
Fill our hearts and guide us on the path to Heaven. 🙏
