Pentecost makes us one body my brothers and sisters.
This is a great truth that we have family -- the body of Christ Universal around the world and beyond. Pentecost from which we get the sacrament of confirmation the lay people share in apostolic succession. It is staggering to meditate on personally and collectively this gift of apostolic succession To have been touched physically and spiritually by someone, who was touched by someone, who was touched and breathed on by someone, who was touched and breathed upon and heard the same words -- receive the Holy Spirit by someone all the way back in an unbroken and documented chain to one of the 11 in the attic who sat comforted by Blessed Mother, as she was the only one who had already received the Holy Spirit, who actually walked with ate, slept with touched and was touched by Jesus. Unfortunately, Joel Osteen can't say that. (May the Lord Bless him and his work, through Christ Our Lord Amen).
Hallelujah it is Pentecost. Jesus has completed His mission to bring the Kingdom of God/Heaven to earth -- Do you think He brought it to other planets?
Our family is universal.
Pax Christi,
