Glorious Mystery 3 of 5.
Scripture
And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.
Acts 2:1–13
Meditation
The disciples are gathered in the upper room with Mary when a sound like a violent wind fills the house, and tongues as of fire rest on each of them. They go out into the street and preach in languages they did not know they could speak. Pentecost is the birthday of the Church — the moment fear becomes mission.
Fruit of the mystery
Love of God
