It is the celebration by the Church of the coming of the Holy Spirit as the end\u2014the achievement and fulfillment\u2014of the entire history of salvation. For the same reason, however, it is also the celebration of the beginning: it is the \u201cbirthday\u201d of the Church as the presence among us of the Holy Spirit, of the new life in Christ, of grace, knowledge, adoption to God, and holiness. This double meaning and double joy is revealed to us, first of all, in the very name of the feast. Pentecost in Greek means fifty, and in the sacred biblical symbolism of numbers, the number fifty symbolizes both the fullness of time and that which is beyond time: the Kingdom of God itself. It symbolizes the fullness of time by its first component: 49, which is the fullness of seven (7 x 7): the number of time. And, it symbolizes that which is beyond time by its second component: 49 + 1, this one being the new day, the \u201cday without evening\u201d of God\u2019s eternal Kingdom. With the descent of the Holy Spirit upon Christ\u2019s disciples, the time of salvation, the Divine work of redemption has been completed, the fullness revealed, all gifts bestowed: it belongs to us now to \u201cappropriate\u201d these gifts, to be that which we have become in Christ: participants and citizens of His Kingdom.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The joy of Easter has been completed, and we again have to wait for the dawn of the Eternal Day. Yet, knowing our weakness, humbling ourselves by kneeling, we also know the joy and the power of the Holy Spirit who has come. We know that God is with us, that in Him is our victory. Thus is completed the feast of Pentecost, and we enter \u201cthe ordinary time\u201d of the year. Yet, every Sunday now will be called \u201cafter Pentecost\u201d\u2014and this means that it is from the power and light of these fifty days that we shall receive our own power, the Divine help in our daily struggle. At Pentecost, we decorate our churches with flowers and green branches\u2014for the Church \u201cnever grows old, but is always young.\u201d It is an evergreen, ever-living Tree of grace and life, of joy and comfort. For the Holy Spirit\u2014\u201cthe Treasury of Blessings and Giver of Life\u201d comes, abides in us, and cleanses us from every impurity, and fills our lives with love, faith, and hope.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>+ + + <\/b><b>CHURCH SCHOOL NEWS<\/b><b> + + +<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Congratulations<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to the following 3rd-grade students who made their first confession yesterday and are receiving solemn Holy Communion today:\u00a0 <\/span><b>Damir<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Oleksandr Muryn, <\/span><b>Peter<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Protsanyn, <\/span><b>Anthony<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Charles Julian Sambat, and <\/span><b>Artem<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Vitrykush.\u00a0 May God grant Damir, Peter, Anthony, and Artem MANY BLESSED YEARS!
