Vigiling at Pentecost.  This newly restored vigil tells the Pentecostal story in much the same way the Easter Vigil tells its story.  It is done through many biblical readings of God’s activity.  Even if I do not participate in the prayer of Saturday evening, I can spend time with the readings.

  • How does the Spirit of God aid me and intercede for me?

Being Filled with the Spirit.  Even locked doors cannot keep Jesus away.  Even locked doors do not prevent Jesus from breathing the Holy Spirit into us.  We do not need to lock ourselves away when the risen Jesus is near.  We do not need to lock ourselves away when filled with the Spirit.

  • Filled with the Holy Spirit, whom need I forgive?
  • Filled with the Holy Spirit, how will I behave today as a child of God?

Filled with the Holy Spirit, what will I say that needs saying?
