This is the great Founding Feast of the Church, celebrating the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles, bringing alive in all fullness what Jesus Christ effected by His death and Resurrection.
The Holy Spirit now abides in us, making ever present to us the graces of God, which bring forth the fruits of the Spirit, listed in the reading from Galatians. These are the fruits that come forth in the work we do for God, and by which we glorify Him. Most of all, He gives us His peace and His joy, ours forever. And He lives forever in us, that He may accomplish these works by remaining ever present with us, as we open ourselves to the marvelous ways His Spirit works in us, to make us like Christ.
