Mary and the Holy Spirit
Pentecost is an annunciation and a conception of the church to give birth to Christ in the world.
The gift of God will come to each person as it came to the Virgin Mary.
Mary is indispensable for she is the model of the soul. Receptive, cooperative, obedient, humble, spousal.)
The Holy Spirit will only come to us
if we are receptive, if our hearts are open to God and closed to everything else.
If we are cooperative with Holy Spirit and not resistant to the Spirits promptings.
If we are obedient to the commands of God and not our personal desires.
If we are humble, for when receiving such a Divine gift we may think that we are something special and deserving and not the handmaid of the Lord.
And if we are spousal. To be espoused to the Holy Spirit is to be united in love forever.
And to desire anything or anyone else is spiritual adultery.
If we are, then the Holy Spirit will come and overshadow us and Christ will be conceived in our hearts and souls.
