The COVID-19 pandemic has brought the world together and we all understand and speak the same language to save lives. We all face the same challenges for economic recovery, mental health wellness and other significant outcomes derived from the pandemic. We are not alone and speak in a common chorus. The apostles were filled with the Holy Spirit after Jesus ascension. All languages were spoken and understood by all. Repent and be saved. The gift of the Holy Spirit fulfilled Jesus promise upon ascension that God's laws not be written on tablets of stone but in the hearts of his people through the work of the Spirit. The Spirit guides us, helping us to live like Jesus with love, joy and peace, joined to Christ in salvation, to the glory of God. Amen.

Based on the readings for the week: Acts 2:1-21
