Pentecost and kneeling Vespers

Today at Holy Cross, we celebrated the Feast of Pentecost, remember the sending of the Holy Spirit by the Lord on the Church. Afterwards, we did Kneeling Vespers. Sometimes, it's good to take a minute to reflect on the Holy Spirit, "the Comforter", who is "everywhere present and filling all things."

In just over two months, I'll be leaving for the Ukraine. As I get ready and deal with the nervousness and all the emotions that go with it, it's nice to reflect on the fact that I don't go alone -- One who is greater than me goes with me, and it is He who supplies us with everything necessary to sustain both this life and the life to come.

In Christ,
John
