As we prepare for the great Feast of Pentecost, we ask for a fresh outpouring of the Spirit, to live, within the Church, our baptismal and Confirmation commitment.
What is the secret of the success of the early Church, apart from the obvious power of the Holy Spirit? What of the inescapable link between persecution and growth - and what might this teach us? We explore this week.
If we need the reminder one more time of what a prophet really is (which we do!) - let that extraordinary document, the Book of Revelation, give us a little food for meditation this week.
Our Resurrection “new life” should inculcate within us a profound spirit of thanksgiving. This week, we allow our old friend Gilbert Keith Chesterton to remind us how this is done.
