“When the Spirit of truth comes, He will lead you to the complete truth.” John 16: 12-15
This month is a busy one in the church calendar! Ascension Day and Pentecost Sunday take us to the end of Eastertide; then the church celebrates Trinity Sunday; and lastly the Feast of Corpus Christi, where we celebrate Jesus’ gift of His body and blood to us on the cross and through the Eucharist.
A common theme across these celebrations is that of peace:
- Before Jesus ascended to heaven, He spent 40 days with His disciples on earth, giving them proof of Jesus’ resurrection and personal peace in their faith.
- At Pentecost, the Holy Spirit brought peace and unity by giving the apostles the ability to speak different languages, enabling communication with all.
- Trinity Sunday celebrates the loving, peaceful community of the Trinity. This week is also Refugee Week, which calls for the global spread of peace.
- Finally, at Corpus Christi we celebrate Jesus’ sacrifice, as a result of which peace is restored between man and God!
