The disciples gathered together waiting and praying, when a powerful event suddenly occurred. The promised Holy Spirit descended upon them like a rushing wind, filling the room. They began speaking in different languages as the Spirit enabled them. Then Peter, one of the disciples, stood up and spoke to the crowd. Many people believed, were baptized, and became part of the early Christian community. The Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, is still active in our lives and ministries today. Just as the disciples were emboldened to share the message of Jesus, we are called to proclaim the gospel in our lives, bringing the hope and reconciliation of the Gospel to a broken and hurting world.
