Pentecost

On that day of Pentecost, suddenly there was a great noise from above, like a rushing wind, which resounded loudly throughout the house where the disciples were gathered. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in tongues, and all the people were amazed, not knowing what to think. Then Peter stood up with the eleven apostles and addressed the crowd, and that day about three thousand people were added to the number of believers, all of them baptized in the name of Jesus. And so, amidst wonders and spectacular events, the Church began.

Here too, I would like to raise my voice and launch a Pentecostal cry that resounds from one hemisphere to the other, throughout the universal space of the planet. A cry that dispels and banishes hesitation and insecurity and draws us into the unfathomable depths of the divine, without support or light, in pure and naked faith.

We seek those Guides who have experienced the intoxication of Pentecost. Those who were tossed about by the rushing wind of that day, and like those who received a flood of the Holy Spirit, speak of the Lord Jesus as if intoxicated, almost delirious, in such a way that what comes out of your mouths are words of gold that produce radiance and a holy zeal for Our Lord Jesus Christ. And may all those present be electrified and forever marked by the indelible seal of the blessed face of the Lord Jesus.
