Spiritual Quote of the Day (Acts of the Apostles, on the First Pentecost)

“When the day of Pentecost had come,
  they were all together in one place.
And suddenly from heaven there came
  a sound like the rush of a violent wind,
  and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3
Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them,
  and a tongue rested on each of them.
All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit
  and began to speak in other languages,
  as the Spirit gave them ability.”—Acts 2: 1-4 (New Revised Standard Version, Catholic Edition)

The image accompanying this post, Pentecost, was created in 1545 by the Venetian Renaissance painter Titian (c. 1485–1576)

Spiritual Quote of the Day (St. Peter, on How ‘God Shows No Partiality’)

“Peter opened his mouth and said: “Truly I perceive that God shows no partiality, but in every nation any one who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.”—Acts 10:34-35 (Revised Standard Version)
