Pentecost and Memorial for Calvin "Cal" Abby: 05-24-2026

Introit:  Introit Antiphon: The Spirit of the Lord fills the world. Alle- | luia.*      Let the righ- | teous be glad; let them rejoice be- | fore God;*      yes, let them rejoice exceedingly. Alle- | luia.  Let God arise, let His enemies be | scattered;*      let those also who hate Him flee be- | fore Him. Sing to God, sing praises | to His name;*      extol Him who rides | on the clouds. The Lord | gave the Word;*      great was the company of those who pro- | claimed it. He sends out His voice, a | mighty voice.*      The God of Israel gives strength and power to His | people.    OT: Genesis 11:1-9 Epistle: Acts 2:1-13 Gospel: John 14:23-31   Outline:  How does the festival of Pentecost help us in our grief? How does it comfort us? Pentecost comforts us in three ways, according to the Introit. 1. The Spirit of the Lord fills the world and therefore the righteous are glad. 2. God’s enemies are scattered and so we sing praises to His name. 3. God gives His people power and strength and so we praise God.
