Third Mystery: The Descent of the Holy Spirit

The Descent of the Holy Spirit card
“They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.”Acts 2:4

On Pentecost, as the apostles are gathered with Mary in prayer, a sound like a mighty wind fills the house and tongues as of fire rest upon each of them. The Church goes forth to proclaim Christ.

Fruit of the mystery: Love of God · wisdom

Adoro Te Devote

Godhead here in hiding, whom I do adore, masked by these bare shadows, shape and nothing more, see, Lord, at thy service low lies here a heart lost, all lost in wonder at the God thou art.

St. Thomas Aquinas; tr. Gerard Manley Hopkins (d. 1889)
