GOSPEL REFLECTION: The Feast of Pentecost

Gospel Reading: John 20:19-23

Jesus appears to his disciples and gives them the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus gave the disciples the gift of the Holy Spirit to help them spread his message of peace and forgiveness. We can pray to the Holy Spirit during tough times to help and guide us so that we make just decisions. Also as Christians, we are called to be peacemakers. We should remember that we can be peacemakers by caring for relationships and showing love and forgiveness when needed.
