It is pentecost! I remember growing up catholic, pentecost was a beautiful time of spring flowers, baptismal water, incense, and beautiful colors across the cross.
But I don't think I ever understood it. I never understood the celebration. I knew Jesus was risen, but did I fully take in he came back and walked among us for 40 days, and then ascended and 10 days later gave us the Spirit.
I want to take that in.
I want to read and remember who Jesus is, and how that inspired the apostles to live. And how that can inspire me to live.
Some things the catholic church really gets right. Celebrating and acknowledging pentecost is one of them. Traditions and remembrance is valuable because we as people are so forgetful. I am going to celebrate and remember, who's with me.
