First sign
The rushing wind
“A sound like a mighty wind.” — Acts 2
The same breath that moved over the waters at creation fills the house — the Ruach, the Spirit who gives life, blowing where it wills.
The breath of GodThe Spirit poured out
Fire and wind, and a Church set ablaze.
Fifty days after Easter the Spirit falls — a rushing wind, tongues of flame, and a frightened few sent to the ends of the earth. Pentecost crowns the Easter feast and opens the year's bright high points: the great solemnities and the feasts of the saints that rise like flame above the green. Solua keeps the fire with you.
Pentecost falls fifty days after Easter — May 24 this year — and its feasts run on through Ordinary Time.
Veni Sancte Spiritus — Come, Holy Spirit, and kindle in us the fire of your love.
Wind · fire · tongues
Three signs of the Spirit.
In the upper room the disciples were waiting, the doors shut for fear. Then, at the third hour, heaven came down — and what fell upon them is shown in three signs the Church has never forgotten.
Second sign
The tongues of fire
“Tongues as of fire rested on each.” — Acts 2
Flame that gives light without burning. It crowns each head — the Spirit poured out not on a chosen one, but on all the Church at once.
The fire of loveThird sign
The many tongues
“Each heard them in his own language.” — Acts 2
Babel undone. The Gospel is spoken and every nation understands — and the Church, born this hour, is sent out to all the world.
The Church sent outThe year's bright high points
The great solemnities & feasts.
Above the green of Ordinary Time rise the year's high feasts — the mysteries of God and the memory of the saints, kept like flame against the daily round. These are the days the whole Church lifts her head.
