“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. …”

“R. The just will gaze on Your Face, O Lord.
or:
R. Alleluia.
The LORD searches the just and the wicked;
the lover of violence he hates.
For the LORD is Just, He loves just deeds;
the upright shall see His Face.”

“Jesus answered …
‘… I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.
I have told you this so that you might have peace in Me.
In the world you will have trouble,
but take courage, I have conquered the world.'”

“Jesus raised His Eyes to heaven and said,
‘Father, the hour has come.
Give Glory to Your Son, so that Your Son may Glorify You,
just as You gave Him authority over all people,
so that Your Son may give Eternal Life to all You gave Him.
Now this is Eternal Life,
that they should know You, the only True God,
and the One Whom You sent, Jesus Christ. …'”

“#Jesus said to His #Disciples:
‘Amen, amen, I say to you, you will weep and mourn,
while the world rejoices;
you will grieve, but your grief will become joy.
* * *
… I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice …
* * *
Amen, amen, I say to you,
whatever you ask the Father in My Name He will give you.'”
