Jesus&#8217; death on the cross, His resurrection, and His ascension into heaven paved the way for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. On this day, Pentecost Sunday, the disciples were hiding behind locked doors \u2014 afraid, uncertain, grieving. And yet Jesus came and stood among them. Not with judgment for their fear or their doubt, but with a gift: Peace. \u00a0He showed them His wounds \u2014 proof that He had passed through suffering and come out the other side. Then He breathed on them and gave them His Spirit.<br \/><br \/>Jesus instructed His apostles to confidently ask for the gifts of the Holy Spirit. When the apostles did so, they were no longer afraid to preach about Jesus to the world. Jesus offers this same gift to each one of us today. He calls us to embrace these spiritual gifts so that we live according to God&#8217;s will.\u00a0<em>Jesus \u00a0finds us where we are \u2014 behind whatever doors we&#8217;ve closed out of fear \u2014 and He speaks peace into that very place. Then He sends us out, just as the Father sent Him: not to stay hidden, but to carry that peace to others.<\/em><br \/><br \/>Have a blessed day.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>Yours in Christ,<br \/>Father Edward Domme<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"cz-color-14933469\"><span style=\"color: #003366;\">copyright \u00a9 2026 Servants of the Word, source:<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailyscripture.net\/\">dailyscripture.net<\/a><\/strong>, <span style=\"color: #003366;\">author<\/span> <strong>Don Schwager<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366;\">Our Lady of the Assumption Church<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"moz-text-html\" lang=\"x-unicode\">\n<div class=\"moz-forward-container\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366;\">Rev.
