Another great re-discovery in our time is the spirituality of Pentecost. The Church has become aware that the vigor and ardor of Pentecost is needed for our day. Pope Paul VI said the Church is always in need of a perpetual Pentecost. John Paul II stated that in our day we are discovering the charismatic dimension of the Church. It is as essential to the life of the church as her institutional dimension. The Holy Spirit gave birth to the Church at Pentecost. It is the source and inspiration for evangelism and her mission to the world. So, then, the parish is that place where the spirituality of Pentecost is cultivated. It is the place where the inspirations of the Holy Spirit are accepted and discerned. It is the place where the spiritual gifts (charisms) are encouraged and accepted. As Benedict XVI has said, now is the time for the whole church to be baptized in the Holy Spirit by re-discovering the graces of baptism and confirmation.
