In most schools, classes open on Monday, Juen 5. New students are especially excited about going to school, what with their new bags, new notebooks, new raincoats! They look forward to knowing and meeting new teachers, new classmates. They expect many new things!
Isn't it a happy coincidence that the beginning of the new schoool year is preceded by Pentecost Sunday, the feast of descent of the Holy Spirit upon Mary and the disciples gathered in the Upper Room. With the coming of Holy Spirit preceded by the blowing of a strong wind that shook the place and startled the disciples. The windows flew open and a breath of fresh air blew upon them and they felt like new creatures. They suddenly felt brave and courageous and began to preach the Good News! Thus, the Church was born!
Come Holy Spirit, blow in us, refresh us, encourage us!
