Its first point is this: The Pentecost office celebrates the descent of the Holy Ghost and the strengthening of the apostolic Church for her public mission. Its next point develops the lesson: Its witness teaches that the Holy Ghost is the Spirit of truth, sanctity, unity, and courage, not a spirit of novelty or disorder.\nThe practical instruction is: Ask for fire that purifies and strengthens. True zeal loves doctrine, worship, and obedience because it comes from the Spirit of truth.

In this way the Breviary becomes instruction for the present day rather than information that is quickly passed over.\n- What truth does this Breviary witness teach or defend?\n- What virtue does the Church place before me through it?\n- What judgment or action should change because I have received this lesson?\n\nFROM MATINS\nThe Holy Ghost kindles love that keeps the word of Christ.\nMatins - One Nocturn - Pentecost Sunday\nPope St. Gregory the Great\n\"The test, then, of love, is whether it is showed by works.\"\n- The Breviary keeps Pentecost with the Gospel promise that the Father and the Son will make Their abode in the soul that loves Christ and keeps His word.\n- St. Gregory teaches that the Holy Ghost is love, visibly shown under the form of fire and inwardly poured into hearts.\n- Love of God is proved by obedience; a soul that follows unlawful desires while refusing God's will does not possess the love it professes.\nAsk for the fire that makes obedience possible.

Do not hurry past it as though doctrine belonged only to books and controversies. A revealed truth is also a light by which the soul must judge its loyalties, its fears, its habits, and the duties immediately before it. Apostolicity guards continuity of doctrine, worship, mission, and authority. The faithful do not invent the Church; they receive her from Christ through the Apostles.\nThe grace to be practiced is Docility to the Spirit of truth, drawn from today's saintly witness. Ask God for more than the natural appearance of this virtue.

Practice teachability by receiving sound correction, studying what your duties require, and refusing both intellectual pride and careless credulity.\nThere is also an enemy to recognize: Resist the claim that a self-made religious fellowship can replace the Church Christ visibly founded. Do not study this danger only in other people. Look quietly for the door by which it seeks entrance into your own soul - perhaps through delay, curiosity, resentment, human respect, attachment to comfort, or the desire to control the outcome. Dying to self today means choosing docility to the Spirit of truth when pride, comfort, fear, resentment, or human respect asks for control.\nDo the faithful act and entrust its fruit to divine Providence, God's wise and loving governance of all things. Place effort and outcome into Our Lady's hands so that the whole offering may be presented to her Divine Son. Confidence in God is not passivity: obey, pray, work, and accept that visible success, consolation, or immediate relief may not be given. God remains faithful when the duty is hidden and the outcome uncertain. Therefore, perform the duty that belongs to you, use the lawful means God has provided, and then surrender the fruit. Accept the labor of learning, the humility of admitting ignorance, and the duty of abandoning opinions contrary to the Faith. Read, speak, and judge according to sound Catholic sources, explaining truth plainly without weakening or disguising it.\nThe Church's witness: this truth manifests the Church's mark of apostolic; the witness placed beside it is St. Robert Bellarmine.\nYour resolution before God: Read Acts 2:1-11.

Today in the Roman Year

\n

At Pentecost the Holy Ghost strengthened the apostles to preach Christ publicly and carry the Gospel to the nations. His work is not private excitement separated from doctrine, worship, and the authority Christ established. The faithful should ask Him for zeal that makes them more obedient to revealed truth, more constant in charity, and more courageous in Catholic witness.

Ask for the childlike faith that receives Catholic truth humbly while remaining ready to learn its foundations in Scripture and Tradition.

Ask for a docile mind that loves Catholic truth, learns it faithfully, and never uses complexity to evade obedience.

“But as I speak particularly to the poor and simple, who being of good-will, and having more faith than the common run of scholars, believe more simply and so more meritoriously, I content myself with putting out the truth quite simply, without stopping to quote the original passages, which they would not understand.”

St. Louis-Marie de Montfort, True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin, no. 26

St. Louis de Montfort is not praising ignorance, credulity, or contempt for sacred learning. In this very paragraph he explains that his teaching can be confirmed from Holy Scripture and the Fathers. He adapts the manner of instruction so that souls of good will may receive substantial truth without an academic obstacle.

Simplicity of faith is the opposite of self-sufficient cleverness, but it must never become indifference to doctrine. Receive what the Church teaches, seek sound reasons according to your capacity and duties, refuse novelty and private invention, and submit every conclusion to the revealed Faith handed down by the Church.

Read Acts 2:1-11. Ask the Holy Ghost to strengthen His seven gifts in you and name the duties in which you especially need His help.

The Church Is Visible and Founded by Christ

\n

The Church places this truth before you today: The true Church is not an invisible collection of private opinions, but the society founded by Our Lord, teaching, sanctifying, and governing in His name. Do not hurry past it as though doctrine belonged only to books and controversies. A revealed truth is also a light by which the soul must judge its loyalties, its fears, its habits, and the duties immediately before it. Apostolicity guards continuity of doctrine, worship, mission, and authority. The faithful do not invent the Church; they receive her from Christ through the Apostles.

The grace to be practiced is Docility to the Spirit of truth, drawn from today's saintly witness. Ask God for more than the natural appearance of this virtue. Temperament may make an action seem easy for a time, but supernatural virtue remains faithful because God is worthy of obedience, even when feeling offers no assistance and no one notices the cost. Practice teachability by receiving sound correction, studying what your duties require, and refusing both intellectual pride and careless credulity.

There is also an enemy to recognize: Resist the claim that a self-made religious fellowship can replace the Church Christ visibly founded. Do not study this danger only in other people. Look quietly for the door by which it seeks entrance into your own soul - perhaps through delay, curiosity, resentment, human respect, attachment to comfort, or the desire to control the outcome. Dying to self today means choosing docility to the Spirit of truth when pride, comfort, fear, resentment, or human respect asks for control.

Do the faithful act and entrust its fruit to divine Providence, God's wise and loving governance of all things. Place effort and outcome into Our Lady's hands so that the whole offering may be presented to her Divine Son. Confidence in God is not passivity: obey, pray, work, and accept that visible success, consolation, or immediate relief may not be given. God remains faithful when the duty is hidden and the outcome uncertain. Therefore, perform the duty that belongs to you, use the lawful means God has provided, and then surrender the fruit. Accept the labor of learning, the humility of admitting ignorance, and the duty of abandoning opinions contrary to the Faith. Read, speak, and judge according to sound Catholic sources, explaining truth plainly without weakening or disguising it.

\n

The Church's witness: this truth manifests the Church's mark of apostolic; the witness placed beside it is St. Robert Bellarmine.

\n

Your Resolution Before God

\n

Read Acts 2:1-11. Ask the Holy Ghost to strengthen His seven gifts in you and name the duties in which you especially need His help.

\n
The Holy Ghost strengthens the Church to confess one Faith and carry Christ's teaching to every nation.

\n

How shall I imitate Christ today?

\n
“Virtue appeareth best in time of adversity. Occasions make not a man frail, but they shew openly what he is.”
\n

Thomas à Kempis, The Imitation of Christ, Book I, chapter 16, p. 27

\n \n

The trial does not excuse the fault; it reveals where grace must be received and nature mortified. Do not waste the revelation God permits.

When adversity uncovers impatience or fear, do not conclude that every previous effort was false. Thank God for showing you where the wall remains weak. Humble yourself, ask pardon if another was wounded, and return to the battle with a more honest knowledge of your need for grace.

\n

Today's Practice

  • What definite amendment will I carry into tomorrow?
