The mystery of Pentecost, in the presence of Mary

The coming of the Holy Trinity into your heart is the unfathomable mystery of Pentecost. This mystery proceeds at Mary’s side, with her and in her presence.

The Holy Trinity dwells in Mary and she communicated the Spirit to the Apostles. Through them, she touches every heart that chooses to follow Christ. Everything that happened on the day of the Ascension, Mary kept in her heart. She was educated by her Son’s example, so Mary understood the Father’s will for her.

“Thy will be done” — the Fiat of the Annunciation and the Fiat of the Cross took Mary to the Fiat of the Ascension.

Jesus disappeared before her eyes of flesh. She had to experience this mystery of separation, a detachment purer and more perfect than all that she had experienced until then. She did not hesitate for a moment and hastened to gather the Apostles together again.

These puzzling events could have caused the dispersion of the Apostles once again. But Mary was an example of contemplation. She saw beyond mere appearances.
