Photo of the Day: 7 Gifts of the Holy Spirit, Pentecost, St. Cecilia Church, Englewood NJ

A number of people, including myself, lined up after morning Mass on Pentecost Sunday in front of this display at my longtime spiritual home, St. Cecilia Roman Catholic Church of Englewood, NJ. 

The white tags here, in English and Spanish, list the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit” understanding, wisdom, knowledge, counsel, fortitude, piety, and fear of the Lord.

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)
