Our Lord Jesus Christ, being seated on the right hand of God, sent, as He had promised, the Holy Ghost upon the Apostles, who, after His Ascension, continued in prayer at Jerusalem, in company with the Blessed Virgin, awaiting the performance of His promise.Let us pray in like manner with the Church: "Come, O Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Thy faithful and kindle in them the fire of Thy love."
Antiphon at the Magnificat (Second Vespers):
Today were the days of Pentecost accomplished, alleluia; today the Holy Ghost appeared to the disciples in the form of fire, and gave them the gifts of His graces: He sent them throughout the whole world to preach and testify: (Mark 16. 16) that he that shall believe and be baptised shall be saved, alleluia.
