Catechesis Notes for the Week — The Feast of Pentecost celebrates the person and work of the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son and with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified as God and Lord.  The Holy Spirit is sometimes called the Spirit of love for it is by the Spirit that we are drawn into the fellowship of the love of the Holy Trinity.  The Holy Spirit is always the Spirit of Christ who shines upon the person and work of our Savior, calls us to repentance and faith, and bestows upon us every blessing that Jesus won for us.  The Spirit’s means or instruments by which He does His work are the Gospel and Sacraments of Christ.
