Pentecost & the Holy Spirit | Purposely Catholic | Ep. 27

About this episode

How do you relate to the Holy Spirit? Seminarian Gianni DiTola joins Bobby and Khalil for a Pentecost discussion about that relationship and opening ourselves to the Spirit.

We ask why Pentecost follows Easter and why the liturgical color is red. The conversation also takes up the Spirit as Advocate, the use of visual aids in approaching mystery, and questions about baptism in the Holy Spirit.
