Pentecawesome

What an awesome day Pentecost is! The celebration of the Lord and Giver of Life (Dominum et Vivificantem) entering the hearts of the faithful for the continued salvific work of Christ, of bringing all men to God. Below I am posting a whole bunch of quotes about the Holy Spirit. Enjoy!
