The Feast of Pentecost (Sunday, May 20) brings to a conclusion the spiritual festival of Easter. The bestowal of the gift of the Holy Spirit on each of us is realised through the events of the Easter mysteries. Pentecost is the culmination and fulfilment of these mysteries. And in a sense, then, Pentecost is the realisation of the purpose of Christ’s incarnation. Christ could do no more than make the Spirit available to us. All that lies beyond Pentecost requires our co-operation, our engagement and our participation.
We have reached a turning point in the cycle of the spiritual year. Christ and the spiritual worlds have done their work to make available to each of us the enabling power of the Holy Spirit. From here on in, it depends on us. Can we open ourselves to receive the Holy Spirit? Can we work with the gifts it offers to us, the abilities it unlocks within us? And can our very beings and lives bring forth the fruits of the spirit that grow through our ability to work co-operatively, collaboratively with the impulses the Spirit brings us? The book Prayers for the Seasons contains a collection of prayers to enrich our experience of Pentecost, as well as each of the seasons and festivals of the spiritual year. Details |

We hope to bring a truer and freer appreciation of the Being we recognise as the Sun God, the Son of God, the Logos who was in the beginning ... the I AM that I AM.
It is this majestic being, known by many names in many cultures through history and incarnate for a time in the man Jesus, whose divine blood changed the course of human destiny, and whose life and spirit has been implanted into this earth and into every human soul, who gives us the divine inner power to lift ourselves once more to our rightful place in the universe. This is the power we call: Christ in you, the divine I AM. The true individual.
We see ourselves as co-workers with Christ in this beautiful, redeeming, freemaking work. It is this truth, this commitment and this vision that stands behind Rosa Veritas.
