3. The Descent of the Holy Spirit
We contemplate the apostles gathered with Mary in prayer when suddenly a mighty wind fills the house and tongues of fire rest upon each of them. They are transformed—cowards become heralds, fear gives way to faith.
This mystery teaches zeal and wisdom. The Holy Spirit gives courage, clarity, and mission. The Christian life is a living flame—truth spoken, good done, love spread abroad. Grace makes apostles of the timid.
