Pentecost

Join Fr. Charlie Bouchard O.P. of the Dominican Friars (Province of St. Albert the Great) for a powerful homily on the Feast of Pentecost where we dive deep into the coming of the Holy Spirit, the “Forgotten Person of the Trinity.” This video explores:

  • The promise of Jesus to send the Holy Spirit, our Comforter & Advocate.

  • Why the Holy Spirit often gets less attention than the Father or Jesus, and why that must change.

  • How the Spirit is invoked in sacraments like Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Holy Orders, and even at the installation of the Pope.

  • Insights from the Pentecost sequence: "comforter," "light in darkness," "dew on dryness," and more.

  • St. Paul’s spiritual gifts and how each believer receives a personal charism.

  • The beautiful paradox: individual experiences—symbolized by flames over each disciple—and communal unity in the one mystical Body of Christ.

  • Two essential calls for Pentecost: gratitude for your unique gifts and openness to Spirit‑led unity with others.

  • A climactic moment in which we pray together: “Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful…”

If you're seeking a meaningful Pentecost reflection, tools to discern your spiritual gifts, or a deeper encounter with the Holy Spirit, this Catholic homily offers clarity, encouragement, and spiritual depth.
