The Descent of the Pentecost
"When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled, they were all in one place together. And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were. Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim." Acts 2:1-4

Happy Feast Day of St. Rita of Cascia!
There is much to learn from this saint about living out the Goodness of the Spirit. What is goodness? It is our desire to do all that is good in God's Eyes, and our rejection of bad things, sin and evil.
St. Rita of Cascia lived out the Fruit of Goodness when she stopped her sons from avenging her husband’s murder, making peace with their enemies instead. Later, as an Augustinian Nun, God placed a thorn on her head as she desired to suffer like Jesus. She offered her pain for the good of others.

Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord
"As they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him from their sight. While they were looking intently at the sky as he was going, suddenly two men dressed in white garments stood beside them. They said, "Men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking at the sky? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will return in the same way as you have seen him going into heaven."' Acts 1:9-11
