🔥 Are you ready to receive the fire of the Holy Spirit? As we approach Pentecost, Dominican friar Fr. Brendan Curran, O.P., offers a powerful reflection on the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, global justice, and our call to bring hope to a thirsting world. Speaking from the heart of the Easter season, Fr. Brendan connects the Acts of the Apostles with the courage of prophetic voices like Nelson Mandela, Stephen Biko, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Rosa Parks, as well as the suffering and resilience of communities in Ukraine, Haiti, Sudan, Uganda, and beyond.

🕊️ Rooted in scripture and animated by Catholic social teaching, this homily challenges us to live boldly in the Spirit—compelled, called, and inspired to be a voice of faith in the face of injustice and despair.

✝️ Whether you're preparing for Pentecost or seeking to deepen your faith and action, this reflection will stir your soul.
