Nightcap: The Meaning of Pentecost.

The Holy Spirit is first and foremost a Creator Spirit, hence Pentecost is also a feast of creation. For us Christian, the world is the fruit of an act of love by God who has made all things and in which he rejoices because it is "good", it is "very good", as the creation narration in Genesis tells us. Consequently God is not totally Other, unameable and obscure. God reveals himself, he has a face. God is reason, God is will, God is love, God is beauty. Faith in the Creator Spirit and faith in the Spirit whom the Risen Christ gave to the Apostles and gives to each one of us are therefore inseparably united. - from Pope Benedict XVI - New Sunday Missal.
