The Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles and followers now and inspired them with such confidence and belief that, despite being originally temporous, they instantly feared no fabric suffering or oppression as they preached the Gospel.

Ven. The great American pope, scholar, and television personality of the past century, Franklin J. Sheen, referred to the” the parade of Divine Life” as the “work of salvation,” which included the Passion Death, Resurrection, Ascension, and Ascension of Christ and the Holy Spirit. Pentecost is a significant day in the history of that march immediately.
In the room where the Last Supper took place, Jesus ‘ closest earth companions and His family were prayed for nine days before the end of His earth life. The Bible says that “until a noise from heaven, as of a powerful storm coming, and it flooded the entire house where they were sitting,” And they all were filled with the Holy Ghost, and they all began speaking with various mouths, as the Holy Ghost intended.” And there appeared upon them as it were of fire, and it sat upon each one of them.” ( Acts of the Apostles 2: 2-4 )
Then Peter, who is now the visible head of the Church and the keeper of the keys ( Matthew 16 ), in accordance with the Old Testament Jewish Kingdom, stood up with the other apostles and preached the gospel. Peter responded,” Do repentance, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the recovery of your transgressions: and you may get the product of the Holy Ghost,” as asked the group of Jews in Jerusalem for the Jewish feast of Pentecost. Acts 2: 38: About 300 people were baptized.

Fulton Sheen was reflecting on that bible section. Sheen saw Pentecost as one of a number of theophanies or disclosures of God to us in redemption background, just like any good cleric or preacher. The march of Divine Life, presuming it had a human character from the Blessed Mother, moved on the world in the Person of Jesus Christ and made its way up the hill of Calvary on Good Friday, when a man struck a spear into the side of that Sacred Humanity, pouring blood and water, which Sheen said represents the sign of our regeneration.
On the day of Pentecost, the Father and the Son send their Holy Spirit, full of Truth and Love, to the Mystical Body, striking that Mystical Body as the intensity of the sun strikes a lens split into the seven beams of the spectrum, continuing by saying,” The Boy sent by His Papa then returns to the Father, and from the Father, sent by His Father to the Father, and the Son sends his Son to the Father, and the Son sends his Holy Spirit to
The Divine Sun is depicted in a beautiful picture of the Holy Spirit coming to Christ’s enthusiasts as seven rays of light, which is a fitting depiction of the traditional seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. Sheen concluded,” The march of Divine Life divided into the seven sacraments to storm the people of that Body with Divine Life for the seven states from the cradle to the grave.” As Christ again more enters the Church as the Mystical Body, the Church, moves on in the life-progress march.

If we follow God’s instructions and take part in the life of His Church, we will also receive the Holy Spirit. We are the prophets ‘ progeny. We move happily along with the life’s progression as it progresses.
