First Reading: Acts 2: 1 – 11
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.

“Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your faithful, and enkindle in them the fire of Your love. Send forth Thy Spirit and they shall be created. And Thou shalt renew the face of the earth.”
“Renewal” requires reconciliation – a word that is embedded in our Archdiocesan Mission Statement. In the midst of all the crime and violence in T&T and in the world, there is a yearning for peace, but there can be no peace without reconciliation and justice.
