<p class="title_brown">The descent of the Holy Spirit on the Church</p>

<p class="normal_text"><br />
We contemplate the mystery of <em>the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Church</em>, meditating on the words from the Book of the Acts of the Apostles:</p>

<p class="quote">For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.&rdquo; But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.<br />
&nbsp;[Act 1,5.8]</p>

<p class="normal_text">The human language will always be limited to describe the power of the Spirit of the Resurrected. Shaded over the created world, the Spirit of the Lord is the engine of the new creation, culminating point of Christ&#39;s Easter. Without denying the history of the ancient alliance, God seems to have again the clay in the hands, a new clay without the impurity of the past, so that, from the creator&rsquo;s breath, a new humanity may be drawn and, with the power of the Holy Spirit, reach to the city of the saints.<br />
In Fatima, we also assist to the power of Pentecost, in the multiplicity of pilgrims who, through prayer, form a great cenacle.<br />
Virgin of Fatima, Lady of the Pentecost, intercede for us next to Christ so that we may be a new creation!</p>
