The Mystical Interval, the Ascension and the Festival of Pentecost
This period of time follows Easter and is a mirror image to the Lenten period which preceded Easter. It is a time when we take in the new life Christ has given, and are aware of the presence of the Risen Christ and his appearing to those who love him. This time of reflection comes to an end with the celebration of his Ascension into the heavens.
There are discourses explaining the esoteric meaning of the Ascension and Pentecost available in our online shop.
Ten days later, we celebrate Pentecost, the descent of Christ’s spirit into our hearts to renew and enlighten our souls. In the mighty winds and Pentecostal tongues of fire the spirit of Christ descended upon the disciples, giving them a new consciousness and the power to set the hearts and souls of people everywhere alight.
Our mass on this day celebrates the continuing message of Pentecost: the living Christ is present within us and we can express the greatness of this Christ power in every aspect of our lives.
