The Paraclete And Pentecost

In the words of the Redoubtable Fr Joseph F Wilson, Associate Pastor Of St Margaret's RC Church in Middle Village, Queens, I heard the Term, Paraclete, in connection to The Holy Spirit, for the 1st Time in Many Years:

The Holy Spirit, as Promised by Jesus Christ, would descend upon the Apostles, so they would go forth into the World and make Disciples Of All Nations;

Think of Paraclete, not as a mean, green little bird(Parakeet), but as a Coach in a Baseball Game. The Batter hits one off the Pitcher, and he's being encouraged by that Coach, to give one's all;

That's where The Holy Spirit comes into play. Pentecost is the Birthday Of The Church, when the Apostles went forth from the Upper Room;

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia;

Deo Gratias, Alleluia;
