Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.
In the opening verses of Acts 2, the disciples experience a powerful infilling of the Holy Spirit, which ignites them for the ministry of healing and evangelism on a whole new level. Find your favourite spot for prayer, grab your journal, and sit deeply with yourself and the Lord for 20 minutes.
Acts 2 is read from the NRSV

Contemplative at Home offers guided meditative prayer – space to slow down and listen to the truth that is being born out of God’s love for you today – drawing on Ignatian spirituality and at times, Lectio Divina.

Lissy, this is so good. Thank you. I wasn’t aware of the historical meaning of ‘Pente-cost’ so thank you for that.
It’s an incredibly sensory experience those first verses in Acts isn’t it? It’s breathtaking … the violent rushing wind, the fire, the tongues … simply incredible.
Bless you, my friend.
