The Descent of the Holy Spirit (Pentecost)
Spiritual Fruit: Love of God & Holy Wisdom
"And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance."
Contemplation on The Descent of the Holy Spirit (Pentecost)
The Holy Spirit descends upon the Apostles and Mary at Pentecost, empowering the Church to proclaim the Gospel to all nations.
As we recite the ten Hail Marys of this decade, we fix our interior gaze upon this mystery of Christ's life. We ask for the grace to embody its spiritual fruit, Love of God & Holy Wisdom, in our daily lives.
Sealing the Decade with the Glory Be
At the close of the ten Hail Marys for this decade, we stand in spirit with the Blessed Mother and offer all our contemplation back to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit with the Glory Be (Gloria Patri), acknowledging that all holiness flows from and returns to the Blessed Trinity.
