The readings for Pentecost for Year C promise that we are not on our own, but have the Spirit to guide us. In the first reading (Acts 2:1-11) the Holy Spirit comes to the disciples. The psalm (Psalm 104:1, 24, 29-30, 31, 34) asks for the Spirit to come to us. In the second reading (1 Corinthians 12:3B-7, 12-13) we learn that only through the Holy Spirit can we declare that Jesus Christ is Lord. In the alternate second reading (Romans 8:8-17) we hear that life in the world brings only death, but the Spirit brings life. In the gospel (John 20:19-23) Jesus breathes the Spirit into his disciples. In the alternate gospel (John 14:15-16, 23B-26) Jesus promises that the Holy Spirit will keep us close to him.
