Fr. Mark Mary: 在今天的画作中，我对圣灵降临节时玛利亚的反应着迷，特别是与其他门徒的反应相比。我想用两个主题来祈祷：一是老手与新手对同一情况的反应差异。就像经验丰富的父母对孩子的哭闹能更冷静地判断是否是紧急情况，而初次飞行的乘客和经常飞行的人对湍流的反应不同，孩子和成人对雷声的反应也不同。面对新的、可能可怕的经历，初次体验者会谨慎和害怕，但熟悉情况的人则能保持冷静、自信和和平。门徒们对圣灵的降临感到震惊和害怕，他们的恐惧是合理的。但玛利亚却充满信心和勇气，因为她之前已经被圣灵所笼罩。她可能没有认出圣灵降临时的现象，但她认出了圣灵这个人，她爱圣灵，她渴望汲取圣灵的力量。 Fr. Mark Mary: 玛利亚体验到了“饥渴慕义的人有福了，因为他们必得饱足”的应许。我引用诗篇63篇来形容玛利亚对神的渴望。玛利亚在五旬节深饮活水，并希望我们也能深饮圣灵的新酒。所以，我邀请大家深饮活着的上帝，圣灵。让我们祈求圣灵充满我们，让我们永远渴望神。

At Pentecost, the Apostles may have been filled with a reasonable amount of fear, as wind shook the upper room and fire descended. However, Jean Restout’s painting, Pentecost, draws our attention to someone who is unafraid: Mary, who has already experienced the overshadowing of the Spirit. Today’s focus is the mystery of the Descent of the Holy Spirit and we will be praying one decade of the Rosary.

All of the Sacred Art we’ll be meditating with can be found in the Rosary in a Year Prayer Guide, for free linked in the complete prayer plan, or for free in the Ascension App. For the complete prayer plan, visit https://ascensionpress.com/riy).
