When you call or reply, please leave the sometimes in early June. In following: your name, phone number, and which days the book of the Acts of the you are willing to help out. Apostles, Acts 2 accounts that, after Jesus ascended into heaven, Jesus’ followers were gathered together for the Feast of Harvest (aka Pentecost), and the Holy Spirit “filled the whole house where they were sitting” (Acts 2:2). “All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them” (Acts2:4). This strange occurrence drew a large crowd, and Peter stood up to speak to them about repentance and the gospel of Christ. By the end of the day that the Holy Spirit came, the Church grew by 3,000 people (Acts 2:41). This is why Christians still celebrate Pentecost. Through this baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire, the apostles became more knowing, and had a greater understanding of the mysteries of the Gospel and were more qualified to preach it to people of all nations and languages. 6 Saint Ambrose Catholic Parish
