One New Testament book is reserved for the fifty days of Eastertide in Catholic and most Protestant churches.
This book is The Acts of the Apostles.
By following the story of the early Christian community, we can see what effect the Resurrection of Jesus and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost had on that first, very small group of Jesus’ followers.
The excellent Pray As You Go website offers a short online retreat – five sessions of 12 minutes each – designed to help participants discern the promptings of the Holy Spirit in their own lives, and open themselves more fully to the spirit of Pentecost.
