SOLEMNITY OF PENTECOST (A, B, C) Lectionary #63C
Since it is the final feast of the Great Fifty Days, how does Pentecost complete Easter?
Acts 2:1-11. The Spirit fills the disciples and sends them out to preach to the whole world. God's Spirit, like God's love (see the commentary on the second reading for the Seventh Sunday of Easter) is missionary; it impels us beyond ourselves and our own concerns.
Psalm of the Day: Ps (103) 104
A hymn of praise to the Creator who also sustains the whole of creation especially through the gift of water (verses 10-18 and 27-35). See the commentary on the water imagery used at the Easter Vigil.

Sequence
As is the case with the “Victimae Paschali” at Easter, the Pentecost sequence “Veni, Sancte Spiritus” is a required part of the Pentecost liturgy. It is designed to be a hymn that stands on its own, but it could certainly be sung as the accompaniment to a procession with the Gospel Book (and incense) that moves through the congregation to the place where the Word will be proclaimed, if the space permits such movement.
