Gift of Pentecost

Camino Reflection 1.

The gift of Pentecost is to understand. A reversal of the effects of the Tower of Babel, chaos, confusion, alliance, acquisition and advantage.

The gift of understanding from the source of all understanding and truth, God himself as gift. Jesus’ return to the Father so that the Consoler will come is not a sign of weakness or insufficiency as if God can only spare a third of himself at a time.

No, Father and Spirit gifted Son in the Incarnation. Father and Son gift the Spirit in Pentecost.

All are present in the Father.

God holds nothing back. In His entirety he gives.

The Camino is a gift of understanding. From planning, arrival, onset, continuation, to climax in Holy Mass of the Pilgrim in the Chapel of Pilgrims on the Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord.

Jesus returns that he and the Father gift us again.

Stories and insights, yes. Over time, I’m in no rush. But you should know of all I could remember, of those I was reminded of and those on the Way, prayers and supplication.

We stand and exist by the power of God, in the love of God, and for the reflexive and responsive love we were created into and for.

Babel has ended. Divine insight is ours as gift: personal and in the person of God.

Be set free and like in the gift of understanding.

Peregrinos, return in understanding.

Peace be with you,

Deacon Gerry
