Pentecost

Happy Pentecost!! This is the day that we commemorate the coming of the Holy Spirit--the third Person of the Blessed Trinity. The traditional "gifts of the Spirit" is taken from the Old Testament book of Isaiah.
But a shoot shall sprout from the stump of Jesse, and from his roots a bud shall blossom. The spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him: a spirit of wisdom and of understanding, a spirit of counsel and of strength, a spirit of knowledge and of fear of the Lord, and his delight shall be the fear of the Lord.
~Isaiah 11:1-3
The Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit:
  1. Wisdom
  2. Understanding
  3. Knowledge
  4. Strength
  5. Counsel
  6. Piety
  7. Fear of the Lord

This YouTube video is a combination of meditations on Ascension and Pentecost.
