The fundamental dogma, on which everything in Christianity is based, is that of the Blessed Trinity in whose name all Christians are baptized. The feast of the Blessed Trinity is the solemn expression of our faith in this triune life of the Divine Persons, to which we have been given access by Baptism and by the Redemption won for us by Christ.

Pentecost (Whitsunday), with Christmas and Easter, ranks among the great feasts of Christianity. It commemorates not only the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and Disciples, but also the fruits and effects of that event: the completion of the work of redemption, the fullness of grace for the Church and its children, and the gift of faith for all nations.

We all naturally like to follow our own ideas. As life goes on, we may even find ourselves holding on more and more stubbornly to our own ways of thinking and doing. Unless checked, this will have a negative effect on our relationship with God and with those around us. The Holy Spirit who understands us so well, comes to our aid. It is the action of His grace that can bend our stubborn heart and will, bringing us into harmony, peace and union with God and neighbor.

The Holy Spirit who can indeed give us rest after labor, can also give us rest in the midst of labor. He makes us capable of enduring tremendous efforts and hardships without counting the cost if only God can be known and loved and served as He deserves. The Holy Spirit accomplishes this in a soul through the inpouring of His light and love. He it is who leads us to rest like a beloved infant in the bosom of the Eternal Father, a practice so dear to St. Paul of the Cross.

From whatever cause our loneliness might arise, the Holy Spirit offers us companionship as the faithful, abiding guest of our souls. St. Augustine cried out: “Our hearts are made for you, O God, and restless will they be until they rest in you.” The infinite love of God who is the Holy Spirit gives our hearts rest. When by faith and love we abide with Him and with the Father and the Son, we feel at home.

Finally, it is the work of the Holy Spirit to lift our minds and hearts to heaven, where God will wipe away all our tears.

The Ascension of Jesus can be defined as the transfer of his risen, glorious body to heaven, that is, to the world of the divine. In the Old Testament, God is described in some texts as "descending" from heaven to accomplish something on earth; he then "ascends" or returns to the world of the divine.
