A More Just Society In A Post-Covid World

“We are one humanity,” Pope Francis said Sunday in a video message to mark the feast of Pentecost, a Christian holiday commemorating the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles and other followers of Christ. On that first day of the Pentecost, according to the Biblical account, there was a “mighty rushing wind” and “tongues as of fire” as the Spirit descended on some 120 followers, including the Apostles and Mary and other female disciples.

It was the fulfillment, the apostle Peter said, of the prophecy: “And in the last day, God says, ‘I will pour My spirit upon every sort of flesh, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy and your young men will see visions and your old men will dream dreams.”
