The Holy Spirit and the Language of Salvation - May 24 - Homily - Fr Maximilian

Fr Maximilian M. Warnisher gives the homily for the feast of Pentecost (May 24, 2026), recounting when the Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles and emboldened them to proclaim the Gospel—the one true “language” of salvation understood by all who seek God. Father reflects on the need for continual conversion, living the faith courageously in daily life, and allowing the Holy Spirit to sanctify us and lead us to eternal union with Christ through the Eucharist.
