Pentacost

As a kid the feast of the Pentacost for me was like relating to Casper the friendly ghost. Maybe reading too much of comics and less of the Bible. Then hearing the Bible at Mass and occasionally reading it as Masses made me realise that  Casper was man made ghost caricature to entertain and the Holy Ghost a spirit that is in all of us to ensure humanity in today's broken world. One man made character and another a form of God in spirit.

Biblical narration speaks of the Holy Spirit descending on Mother Mary and the disciples, as tongues of flame. This descending of the Holy Spirit gave the disciples the gift to speak in tongues. Which today is badly represented and a mockery by some clergy and some self styled Church leadership blabbering some gibberish. When it actually meant the disciples could speak in foreign languages or when they spoke in their native language, those hearing could hear it in their language. 

Today AI, Artificial Intelligence can translate any language and the person hearing it can understand. During the time of the disciples it was also AI. Almighty Intervention where those hearing the disciples preach could hear them in their local language. Not just hear but feel the spirit of God.

We all are manifestation of the Holy Spirit. The problem is instead of being tongues of flames that inspire, love and care, our tongues have become fiery with hate, anger, jealousy, greed, discrimination resulting in the broken world we are living in today. Literally broken and destroyed that we rain flames of destruction with wars that are raging across many countries. Including the geography where the Holy Spirit depended on Mother Mary and the disciples.

It's time we realised we are the spirit. The choice is ours do we want to be Holy or Evil or be Artificial? Or be entertained by an artificial comic character a friendly spook like Casper or stand up comedians that make fun of religion and we watch it over some alcoholic spirits. While the world burns and the spirit of humanity getting burnt
