More and more pilgrims are being admitted to the Pope's public Masses. <\/p>\n
This Pentecost Sunday they filled St. Peter's Basilica while wearing masks and keeping socially distanced. <\/p>\n
The Pope approached the altar from the back of the Basilica, rather than the proceeding down the central aisle.<\/p>\n
In his homily, Pope Francis explained why we need the Holy Spirit. <\/p>\n
POPE FRANCIS<\/strong> The Pope recalled three important pieces of advice given by the Holy Spirit. The first is to 'live in the present.' <\/p>\n POPE FRANCIS<\/strong> The second piece of advice is to 'build unity' by prioritizing the needs of all, rather than some. <\/p>\n POPE FRANCIS<\/strong> Lastly, the Spirit encourages us to seek 'God's help' rather than rely our own abilities.<\/p>\n At the end of the Mass, a child interrupted the procession to give a letter to the Pope, which he seemed happy to receive.<\/p>\n JMB<\/p>\n TR: Justin McLellan<\/p>\n VM<\/p>\n SV<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" May 24, 2021.

\n \u201cIf you feel the darkness of solitude, if you feel that an obstacle within you is blocking the way to hope, if your heart has a festering wound, if you cannot see a way out, then open your heart to the Holy Spirit.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\n \u201cThere is no better time for us: right here and right now, it's the only chance we have to do good, to make our life a gift. Let us live in the present!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\n \u201cThe enemy wants diversity to change into opposition, and so turns them into ideologies. Say no to ideologies, and yes to the whole.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
