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.
