<description><![CDATA[When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled, they were all in one place together. 
And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were. 
Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them. 
And they were all filled with the holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim. 
Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven staying in Jerusalem. 
At this sound, they gathered in a large crowd, but they were confused because each one heard them speaking in his own language. 
They were astounded, and in amazement they asked, "Are not all these people who are speaking Galileans? 
Then how does each of us hear them in his own native language? 
We are Parthians, Medes, and Elamites, inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 
Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the districts of Libya near Cyrene, as well as travelers from Rome, 
both Jews and converts to Judaism, Cretans and Arabs, yet we hear them speaking in our own tongues of the mighty acts of God."

<description><![CDATA[Bless the LORD, O my soul! 
O LORD, my God, you are great indeed! 
How manifold are your works, O LORD! 
In wisdom you have wrought them all— 
the earth is full of your creatures; 
If you take away their breath, 
they perish and return to the dust.
May the glory of the LORD endure forever; 
may the LORD be glad in his works! 
Pleasing to him be my theme; 
I will be glad in the LORD. 
If you take away their breath, they perish 
and return to their dust. 
When you send forth your spirit, they are created, 
and you renew the face of the earth.

<description><![CDATA[and those who are in the flesh cannot please God. 
But you are not in the flesh; on the contrary, you are in the spirit, if only the Spirit of God dwells in you. Whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. 
But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the spirit is alive because of righteousness. 
If the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also, through his Spirit that dwells in you. 
Consequently, brothers, we are not debtors to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 
For if you live according to the flesh, you will die, but if by the spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 
For those who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. 
For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received a spirit of adoption, through which we cry, "Abba, Father!" 
The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 
and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if only we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.

<description><![CDATA[If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 
And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you always,
Jesus answered and said to him, "Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him. 
Whoever does not love me does not keep my words; yet the word you hear is not mine but that of the Father who sent me. 
I have told you this while I am with you. 
The Advocate, the holy Spirit that the Father will send in my name--he will teach you everything and remind you of all that (I) told you.

<description><![CDATA[Today we celebrate the marvelous feast on which the Holy Spirit came down on the disciples and all who were with them, to bring back the priceless treasure which had been lost in Paradise through the cunning of the fiend and human weakness.  This was a wonderful event , even outwardly, but the spiritual reality hidden and contained in it surpasses everything that could ever be known or conceived by reason or feeling or any creature. It is past all telling. The Holy Spirit is so inconceivably great and immense that any created greatness and immensity, which our reason cannot even conceive pictorially, is as nothing in comparison. Besides it, heaven and earth and all those things one can grasp in them are as nothing... So it is that where the Holy Spirit is to be received, he himself must prepare the place; he himself must create man's capacity to receive him... There is no place for God save the ineffable abyss in which he dwells... where he fills the whole capacity, flooding every nook and cranny of the soul.  “And it filled the whole house” (Acts 2,2)... In one sense, the house signifies Holy Church, for she is God's dwelling place. In another sense, it means each person in whom the Holy Spirit dwells. Thus, just as there are many apartments and rooms in a house, so there are many faculties and senses and activities in us. Into all of these the Holy Spirit comes in different ways. When he comes, he persuades, inspires, and impels us, working upon us and bringing us light. However, we are not all equally aware this presence and activity in our souls. The Holy Spirit is in all people, but if we would experience his action and be capable or desirous of feeling and tasting his presence, we must gather our faculties within... in silence and in peace... As we give ourselves up more and more to recollection, we become increasingly aware of the Holy Spirit and he makes himself known to us more clearly, although he has been there all the time, given to us from the first.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[When he entered Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself, with the soldier who was guarding him. 
Three days later he called together the leaders of the Jews. When they had gathered he said to them, "My brothers, although I had done nothing against our people or our ancestral customs, I was handed over to the Romans as a prisoner from Jerusalem. 
After trying my case the Romans wanted to release me, because they found nothing against me deserving the death penalty. 
But when the Jews objected, I was obliged to appeal to Caesar, even though I had no accusation to make against my own nation. 
This is the reason, then, I have requested to see you and to speak with you, for it is on account of the hope of Israel that I wear these chains." 
He remained for two full years in his lodgings. He received all who came to him, 
and with complete assurance and without hindrance he proclaimed the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ.

<description><![CDATA[The LORD is in his holy temple; 
the LORD's throne is in heaven. 
His eyes behold, 
his searching glance is on mankind. 
The LORD searches the just and the wicked; 
the lover of violence he hates. 
For the LORD is just, he loves just deeds; 
the upright shall see his face.

<description><![CDATA[Peter turned and saw the disciple following whom Jesus loved, the one who had also reclined upon his chest during the supper and had said, "Master, who is the one who will betray you?" 
When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, "Lord, what about him?" 
Jesus said to him, "What if I want him to remain until I come? What concern is it of yours? You follow me."
So the word spread among the brothers that that disciple would not die. But Jesus had not told him that he would not die, just "What if I want him to remain until I come? (What concern is it of yours?)"
It is this disciple who testifies to these things and has written them, and we know that his testimony is true.
There are also many other things that Jesus did, but if these were to be described individually, I do not think the whole world would contain the books that would be written.

<description><![CDATA[The Church knows of two lives advocated and recommended by God. One in faith, the other in vision; one in our pilgrimage through time, the other in the abode of eternity; one in working, the other in repose; one on the way, the other in our homeland; one in the labor of action, the other in the reward of contemplation... The first is represented by the apostle Peter, the second by John. The first wholly takes place here below until the end of the world and then comes to an end. The second only reaches its fulfillment after the world's end; in the world to come it will never end.  This is why Jesus says to Peter: “Follow me” and, referring to John: “What if I want him to remain until I come? What concern is it of yours? You follow me”... Let your action follow me, perfect and modeled on the example of my Passion; let the contemplation that has begun remain until my return: I will perfect it when I come again. For this persevering fervor that stands firm to the death is a following of Christ; and this knowledge that will then be manifested in fullness remains until the return of Christ. Here, in the country of mortal men, we must undergo the afflictions of this world; there, we shall contemplate the Lord's blessings in the land of the living (Ps 27[26],13)...  So let no one divide one from the other of these two, glorious apostles; for both are contained in what Peter symbolizes and both will be in what John represents.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[When a few days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice arrived in Caesarea on a visit to Festus. 
Since they spent several days there, Festus referred Paul's case to the king, saying, "There is a man here left in custody by Felix. 
When I was in Jerusalem the chief priests and the elders of the Jews brought charges against him and demanded his condemnation. 
I answered them that it was not Roman practice to hand over an accused person before he has faced his accusers and had the opportunity to defend himself against their charge. 
So when (they) came together here, I made no delay; the next day I took my seat on the tribunal and ordered the man to be brought in. 
His accusers stood around him, but did not charge him with any of the crimes I suspected. 
Instead they had some issues with him about their own religion and about a certain Jesus who had died but who Paul claimed was alive. 
Since I was at a loss how to investigate this controversy, I asked if he were willing to go to Jerusalem and there stand trial on these charges. 
And when Paul appealed that he be held in custody for the Emperor's decision, I ordered him held until I could send him to Caesar."

<description><![CDATA[Bless the LORD, O my soul; 
and all my being, bless his holy name. 
Bless the LORD, O my soul, 
and forget not all his benefits. 
For as the heavens are high above the earth, 
so surpassing is his kindness toward those who fear him. 
As far as the east is from the west, 
so far has he put our transgressions from us. 
The LORD has established his throne in heaven, 
and his kingdom rules over all. 
Bless the LORD, all you his angels, 
you mighty in strength, who do his bidding.

<description><![CDATA[When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs."
He then said to him a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep." 
He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was distressed that he had said to him a third time, "Do you love me?" and he said to him, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." (Jesus) said to him, "Feed my sheep. 
Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to dress yourself and go where you wanted; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go."
He said this signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when he had said this, he said to him, "Follow me."

<description><![CDATA[Let us follow the manner of life of the apostles and we will be their inferiors in nothing. For it was not their miracles that made them apostles, it was the holiness of their lives. It is by this means that a disciple of Christ is recognized. The Lord himself clearly gave us this sign. When he wanted to draw a portrait of his disciples and make known the sign that marked out his apostles, he said: “This is how all will know you are my disciples” . How? By working miracles? Raising the dead? Not at all. How, then? “This is how all will know you are my disciples, if you have love for one another” (Jn 13,35).  Love is not a miracle but a work. “Love is the fulfillment of the Law” (Rm 13,10)... Therefore, have love among yourselves and you will counted among the apostles, even amongst the first of them. Do you want another proof of this teaching? See how Christ addressed Peter: “Peter, do you love me more than these?” There is nothing that enables us to win the Kingdom of heaven more than loving Christ as he deserves... What are we to do to love more than the apostles did?... Listen to Christ, the very one we are to love: “If you love me more than these, be the shepherd of my sheep”... Zeal, compassion, attentiveness are deeds, not miracles. ]]></description>
