May 2010
Today we mark the arrival of the Holy Spirit, the Counselor, the Comforter, an arrival which would transform fearful and self-conscious men and women into fearless and selfless evangelists. Pentecost is, in many ways, the birthday of the Church. But it is not merely that.
To gain a richer understanding, consider these sermons:
I Believe in the Holy Ghost (2011) by Fr Daniels
A Sermon for the Day of Pentecost (2010) by John Pokinghorne
The Holy Spirit Gives us a Future (2010) by Fr Austin
From Pentecost to Pop Hale to Fifth Avenue (2009) by Fr Mead
Three Points about Pentecost (2008) by Fr Mead

Where the Spirit of the Lord is, There is Freedom (2006) by Fr Austin
Collect:
O God, who on this day didst teach the hearts of thy faithful people by sending to them the light of thy Holy Spirit: Grant us by the same Spirit to have a right judgment in all things, and evermore to rejoice in his holy comfort; through the merits of Christ Jesus our Savior, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the same Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
