NOTES AND QUOTE

Pentecost

We have been given a wonderful Facilitator,namely, the Holy Spirit.
The Spirit awakens us to mysterious power within us,bids us live, and helps us grow.
(Flor McCarthy)

People fascinated by the idea of progress never suspect that every step forward is also a step on the way to the end.
(Milan Kundera)

As the wider world succumbs to the temptation to view with suspicion foreigners who have a different cultural background, the European Community looks with apprehension at its enlargement to include Eastern bloc countries and our newspapers pour disdain on every category of asylum seeker, Pentecost stands as the Christian clarion call that all men and women are equal, are united in the same Spirit and should be accorded by us the same dignity that God is pleased to lavish upon them.
(Barbara Lloyd)
